It was very organised, people were lovely and the Cathedral is worth visiting. We were also able to hear the mass, visited the gift shop & bought some souvenirs, and grabbed some sandwiches and coffee. We enjoyed every bit of time spent with music family.

The place is obviously beautiful but we climbed 3750 steps authorized by security personnel and were not allowed to see the cathedral inside but the view of the city from above. There are no warnings for older people and if you fall down the stairs you kill 20. Reservations were fast and effective but I had to resend them the full e mail because they would not accept the qr screenshots and that delayed entry. The rest was a beauty.

I printed off my ticket with QR code but when I got there I had to send an email to the person at the desk who then printed it off again and scanned it. Not sure why my initial ticket couldn't be scanned.

The cathedral is very impressive. The tower ascent and the view from the top are also interesting. Thank you for the audio guides, I would have liked to spend much more time with them, but our time was limited to a few hours. Very descriptive and informative.

The Awe-Inspiring Architecture

Head over to St. Paul's Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren to stand on Ludgate Hill after the Great Fire of London. A church here has stood since 604 AD. St Paul's, with its world-famous dome, is an iconic feature of the London skyline. The dome is the world's second-largest dome and has adorned the London skyline for more than 300 years. Enjoy the Cathedral's awe-inspiring interior, and uncover fascinating stories about its history. Then visit the famous Whispering Gallery with its unique acoustics. Continue to the Stone Gallery, then the Golden Gallery atop the dome for a photo opportunity of the breathtaking panoramic views across London. Visit the crypt which is the resting place for famous Britons such as Lord Admiral Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Christopher Wren.
