Had a fantastic time at St Paul's Cathedral. The tours had finished for the day when we arrived but a very kind tour guide gave us a private quick tour which was brilliant! She was amazing, very knowledgeable and made it very interesting and fun. Thank you Yvonne (I think that was your name - sorry if I'm wrong). We went up to the whispering gallery and then made the accent to the golden tower. This is a lot of steps and not got the faint Hearted but worth it for the views! We stayed for the evensong service at 5pm which was very special as the choir were amazing. The sound of the voices around the cathedral was magical. The sound of the organ was also worth staying for. Definitely worth a visit!
Visiting St. Paul’s Cathedral was a beautiful and memorable experience. The architecture is truly stunning, and the grand dome, detailed interiors, and peaceful atmosphere make the place very special. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in London and gives a strong feeling of history, culture, and elegance. The cathedral is well maintained, clean, and very impressive from both outside and inside. It is a perfect place for tourists, families, and anyone who enjoys heritage buildings and photography. The surrounding area is also nice to walk around and enjoy. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at St. Paul’s Cathedral and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London. A must-visit place and definitely deserves 5 stars.
St Paul's Cathedral was one of the highlights of our trip to London. The architecture is absolutely breathtaking, both inside and out, and the level of detail throughout the building is truly remarkable. Climbing to the dome was well worth the effort, as the views over London are spectacular and provide a unique perspective of the city. The atmosphere inside the cathedral is peaceful and inspiring, making it a wonderful place to spend time whether you are interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a moment of reflection. The staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful, and the entire site is exceptionally well maintained. The audio guide was informative and added a lot of context to the experience. A must-visit landmark in London. Beautiful, historic, and unforgettable – I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
Beautiful with rich history. If you’re able do climb the stairs to the whispering galleries and then to the top. Unfortunately there’s a lift but visitors are not allowed to use it. No long wait times, can do at your own pace and there’s even places to sit and rest or contemplate. Totally worth it!
I’ve visited this iconic cathedral a few times, once during a regular tour and others to attend mass. While I paid the entrance fee once to climb the dome, attending a service allowed me to hear their incredible choir for free. The architecture is breathtaking, and the spiritual atmosphere during the choir performance is truly moving. If you go for free, you can't access the upper galleries, but the view of the interior and the altar is still 100% worth it. It is a must-visit in London for its history; just remember to check the schedules if you want to experience the music.
