Entreeticket St Paul's Cathedral

£25 for access to a completely uninspiring building. It has a bland "protestant " interior. The view from the top is not worth the walk up as London looks hideous in every direction (Not Christopher Wren's fault clearly). The whispering gallery didn't work not for us anyway. I would recommend you not to bother as you will be overcharged for an overwhelmingly tedious experience.

St Paul's Cathedral is one of the iconic English churches and it serves as the seat of the bishop of London. It is also one of the most recognisable sights in the UK capital and it dominated the London skyline from the completion of its construction in 1710 until the 1960s. The current building, designed by the renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren, replaced the earlier Gothic cathedral, which was badly damaged by the Great Fire of 1666. Historians know that another cathedral existed on this site before the Norman conquest, but there is little reliable evidence from the earlier Anglo-Saxon and Roman periods. Christopher Wren's St Paul's is built in a Baroque style and it boasts several impressive features, including a stunning dome with amazing views, the Whispering Gallery, renowned for its unique acoustics, and the grand West Front. On your visit to the cathedral you will also notice some well-known artworks such as Holman Hunt's painting The Light of the World and Henry Moore's sculpture Mother and Child: Hood. St Paul's has been featured in many famous films, including Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, The Madness of King George, Mary Poppins, and Lawrence of Arabia. Many prominent individuals have been buried here, including Admiral Lord Nelson, victor in the Battle of Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington, who led the Allied armies to victory over Napoleon's forces at Waterloo, and Christopher Wren himself. Other prominent figures commemorated in the cathedral are the nurse Florence Nightingale, the painter J. M. W. Turner and the scientist Alexander Fleming who discovered penicillin. St Paul's is undoubtedly one of London's prime attractions, but it is also very expensive to visit. A single ticket will set you back £26 and while you do get access to a free audio guide and a range of free tours, the cost of entry still feels rather steep. You should note that you'll have to climb 257 steps to get to the Whispering Gallery and more than twice as many in total to get to the Golden Gallery at the top of the dome, so if you have mobility issues, you will probably struggle to explore these parts of the cathedral. That is not to say that it's not worth visiting this site, but if you have limited funds, you might want to consider exploring some of London's free attractions instead.

Viator made our experience very easy and the trip to this awesome cathedral was a visit to remember.
