The church is stunning, and the view of the London skyline is a bonus.

St. Paul's Cathedral is a world-famous religious site, the fifth largest cathedral in the world, and the second largest cathedral in the UK (the first is Liverpool Cathedral). It is also the second largest domed cathedral in the world and one of the five largest cathedrals in the world. The dome is one of its most notable features, standing at 111 meters tall and making it a prominent feature of the London skyline. The cathedral is built in the Baroque style, with a grand and imposing presence, and was designed by architect Christopher Wren, who spent 35 years building it. St. Paul's Cathedral is a center for public expression of emotion, whether for celebrations or mourning. It has hosted national thanksgiving services, such as for the victory in the Battle of Trafalgar and the recovery of King George III in 1789. On November 11, 1918, the day after the Armistice was declared, King George V and Queen Mary attended a thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral. In 1897, Queen Victoria held her Diamond Jubilee service outside St. Paul's Cathedral, starting a tradition of anniversary celebrations. Since then, King George V held his Silver Jubilee, and the current Queen has held her Silver, Golden, and Diamond Jubilees. The most famous event was the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. St. Paul's Cathedral has hosted the funerals of many national figures, including Admiral Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, and Winston Churchill. After the cathedral was built, memorial services and monuments were held to commemorate the victims of various wars. In addition, St. Paul's Cathedral has memorials for people from all walks of life who have served the country, including scientists, doctors, artists, musicians, writers, and social reformers. Memorial services have also been held for contemporary figures such as Michael Bond, the author of "Paddington Bear," and fashion designer Alexander McQueen. The "Dean's Staircase" is a masterpiece of stonework and engineering. Designed by Wren, the 88 stone steps appear to be suspended in mid-air, but are actually embedded in the wall and perfectly balanced on the step below. This amazing staircase has been featured in films such as "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." ⚠️You can try your luck by asking the staff with the red ribbon. ⏰Hours: Closed on Sundays, open on Wednesdays from 10:00-16:30, and other days from 8:30-16:30 👀Visit: Allow 2-3 hours 🎫Tickets: £25 for adults, £22.5 for seniors, £10 for children aged 6-17 ⚠️Tips: Tickets include access to the crypt and dome gallery, so don't miss out!
