About St Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul's Cathedral, is an iconic architectural marvel with an impressive dome that is a prominent feature of London's skyline. The great fire of 1666, had Christopher Wren rebuild this monument. This has been the seat of several important state occasions like the much-hyped Royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, the state funeral of Winston Churchill and many such.

This Cathedral is thronged with a busy working Christian Community with many daily services. Come over here to discover the Whispering Gallery with its one-of-a-kind acoustics and the Stone and Golden Galleries that promise breathtaking and 360-degree views of London from atop the dome. Get to learn more about this splendid masterpiece from the free guided tours, or the multimedia guides offered in eight languages for both adults and children.

History buffs or wonderstruck visitors, one won't ever be disappointed with this gorgeous edifice with its soaring arches, artistic windows, gilded arches, sculpted facades, wonderful statues, and manicured grounds.
