Why visit St Paul Cathedral?

Historical significance

St. Paul's Cathedral boasts a rich history dating back over 1400 years, with its origins tracing to the early Christian era in London. It is the fourth church to be built on the site and even before that, it was said to be a place of pagan worship, making it a pivotal landmark in the city's narrative.

Architectural intrigue

Designed by renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren, St. Paul's Cathedral showcases remarkable Renaissance-style architecture. Its majestic dome, standing at 365 feet, is an iconic symbol of London's skyline, and a masterpiece of engineering and design.

Panoramic views

Climbing to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral, situated on Ludgate Hill, is a great way to take in panoramic views of London's cityscape. From this vantage point, one can admire the sprawling city and spot iconic landmarks like the River Thames.

Cultural experience

As one of the most significant Anglican cathedrals in the world, St. Paul's Cathedral offers visitors a profound cultural experience. From attending religious services to exploring its intricate architecture, ornate interiors, and serene chapels, visitors can immerse themselves in the cathedral's spiritual ambiance and cultural heritage.

Art at the Cathedral

St. Paul’s Cathedral is a treasure trove of artistic masterpieces. From the intricate carvings by Grinling Gibbons in the quire to the magnificent dome murals by Sir James Thornhill, the cathedral boasts a rich tapestry of artistry spanning centuries. Visitors can also explore modern works by renowned artists like Yoko Ono and Antony Gormley.

Highlights

The West Front

St. Paul's Cathedral has a majestic 30-foot Great West Door, which is the main entrance but is only entirely opened on special occasions. It has a striking columned portico adorned with sculptures depicting the Conversion of St. Paul. Flanked by bell towers, it's a sight to behold on your visit.

The apse

Discover the apse, dedicated as the American Memorial Chapel in the cathedral's eastern portion, paying respect to over 28,000 Americans who lost their lives in WWII. The Roll of Honour inscribed with their names is a tribute, creating a space for remembrance.

High Altar

Marvel at the exquisite High Altar, crafted from Italian marble and weighing nearly four tonnes, honoring WW2's fallen heroes. Crowned with a towering cross and adorned with gilded candlesticks, its grandeur is accentuated by a majestic oak canopy.

The West Towers

Admire the Baroque-style bell towers known as the West Towers, home to the Great Tom and Great Paul bells. Great Tom chimes hourly, while Great Paul, once the UK's largest bell, tolls only for significant events, including royal and civic losses.

St. Paul’s Cross

Visit the northeast churchyard's St. Paul’s Cross plaque, commemorating the historic open-air pulpit where pivotal political and religious speeches were made in the 16th and 17th centuries. Today, a gilded statue of St. Paul stands guard.

We paid to enter expecting to walk around on our own, we were stopped at the door and asked, Do you want a free guided tour? Little did we know that it would take us to areas that you wouldn't normally be able to access. John, our guide, was amazing, very knowledgeable, very entertaining and loved every minute of it!

Having the pass makes it much easier by avoiding ticket lines, however, there are some aspects that are good to point out: some facilities have rather limited opening hours, you have to take this into account when planning activities because you risk missing something: for example, we were not able to visit Westminster Abbey because a) on Sundays it is open only for worship, b) by postponing the visit to the following Tuesday morning we alas discovered that on October 1, that is when we wanted to go) the abbey opens at 1 p.m. Having to leave in the afternoon we missed it. Or the London Eye opens only late in the morning and, having to make reservations, the performance of the whole day suffers, because one cannot go to a museum, for example, as there is no time to do so either before (they open at 10 a.m.) or after (many close at 5 p.m. and between the time to go and the time to visit one would be squeezed in); moreover, the pass does not give priority of entry, despite the reservation. Finally, I would have preferred the pass to include more art venues than entertainment venues. Then if you are not able to use all the passes, the savings in spending are nullified
