I visited St. Paul's twice during my trip to London. The first was a self-guided/audio tour of the cathedral proper, the second was as part of "The Blitz" tour from London Walks. As a first time visitor to London I was aware that this is one of the many "must-sees" during the trip. My thoughts: History: Anyone interested in history... more

St Pauls is a fantastic cathedral and a sight to behold - although you will have to behold it in you memory as the no-camera policy is enforced by some of the most over-zealous and downright rude staff i have ever encountered in a visitor attraction. The official line seems to be that the policy is out of respect although... more

First they sting you for £10 to get in, then when you try to take a photo or a video they storm up to you and tell you off, on the grounds that, and I quote "This is a CHURCH, show some respect!" Well, if it's a church, what are they doing charging people to get inside? While they are... more

This is another very very impressive structure in London that can't decide whether it is a war memorial and monument to colonialism or a church. That being said, it is more of a place of worship than Westminster Abbey and you may find some corners that might inspire your soul a bit. If you want something that speaks to your... more

Christopher Wren's masterpiece. Every bit of the cathedral has a wonderful history - take a tour or rent an audio guide. Must climb to the whispering gallery (if you are as claustrophobic as I am, it is difficult as it is a tight and dark stairwell) - simply wonderful - and a much better place to see the artwork in... more

St Paul's Cathedral is huge. The inside is jaw-dropping. Not to be missed. We first tried to visit on a Wednesday morning, but it was closed to visitors due to a service for the OB. Tried again that afternoon, but the dome is closed after 3:30, the Cathedral closes at 4:00. Went again on Friday afternoon. Climbed all the way... more

This is a must see place for all who come to this great city, especially as it has apparently been refurbished and the mosaics in the dome gleam brightly in the lights. The whole place is so interesting full of graves of well known historical figures. If you have enough energy, it is well worth the climb to get up... more

I went to London the other weekend with my kids .We went on the London eye which was ok and we went to the tower of London which is kind of disappointing if you have been to Warwick castle which is much more interesting. Both of these were not nearly as good as st paul's.This has to be one of... more

I simply can't imagine going to London and not visiting St Paul's. While not as splendid as Westminster, the cathedral is rich in history and very beautiful. Don't miss it--you would regret it if you knew what you were missing! more

I cannot believe that this is the 23rd attraction of things to do in London. In my opinion, this has to be the top 5. While it has been a few years since I was in London (besides a layover), St. Paul's holds a special place in my memory. I visited as part of a sightseeing tour, and the guide... more
