Set amongst the tower blocks of London's financial sector, St Paul's Cathedral has a dominating presence.
St Paul's Cathedral is the fifth church to stand on this site and followed that of Old St Paul's, with its amazing 160m spire which was one of the wonders of medieval Europe until it was destroyed by fire.
The Cathedral is open for visitors on Monday to Saturday from 08.30. The last admission to the Cathedral for sightseeing is at 16.00. The Cathedral Shop in the Crypt and the Crypt Café are open from 09.00 to 17.00 on Monday to Saturday and from 10.30 to 17.00 on Sundays. Special services and events may close all or part of the Cathedral - sometimes at short notice. It is a great privilege to welcome those who come here from many parts of the world to share the worship of St Paul's Cathedral.
Inside the enormous dome lies the Whispering Gallery, It is said that if you whisper close to the wall it can be heard over a hundred feet away at the other side of the dome, although the gallery is normally too busy to try this for yourself.
