5 /5 Harjit Guram: Visiting St Paul’s Cathedral was one of the highlights of my trip to London. The building is absolutely stunning both inside and out, and the scale of the dome is even more impressive in person.
Climbing up to the Whispering Gallery and then higher to the Stone and Golden Galleries is definitely worth the effort. The views over London are fantastic, but be prepared for a lot of steps. Comfortable shoes help!
Inside the cathedral there’s a lot of history, including memorials and the crypt where famous figures are buried. Even if you’re not particularly into architecture or religion, it’s still a fascinating place to explore.
A few tips if you’re planning to visit:
• Book tickets online if you can — it saves time.
• Go earlier in the day as it gets busy.
• Photography inside is limited in some areas.
• Allow at least 1–2 hours if you want to climb the dome.
It’s not the cheapest attraction in London, but the experience and views make it worthwhile. A must-see if you’re visiting the city. ⛪✨
