St. Paul's Cathedral in City of London, Westminster

Surreal and simply wow n peaceful

Beautiful. Breathtaking. Bangs. Recommend checking it out

Wonderful cathedral whose dome is reminiscent of that of Florence and that of the Invalides in Paris. Pass over the bridge that connects the Tate Museum to Saint-Paul. There you will see the Tower of London.

I spent 4 hours here and would love to spend more. The only baroque style Anglican Church in UK. Looks drastically different from the romanesque and gothic canterbury mother church. Napoleon's two arch enemies are resting in the crypt here.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is an awe-inspiring masterpiece that stands as one of London’s most iconic landmarks. Located at the highest point in the City of London, its majestic dome dominates the skyline and is visible from miles around. The cathedral’s grand façade, designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London in 1666, is a perfect blend of classical and Baroque architecture, making it a true architectural gem. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by the vast, open space of the nave, which is both humbling and breathtaking. The interior is filled with intricate mosaics, elegant columns, and soaring arches, all of which contribute to the sense of grandeur. The high altar, with its detailed carvings and golden accents, is a particularly striking feature, while the Whispering Gallery offers a unique acoustical experience where even the softest whispers can be heard across the dome.

Spectacular. Much prettier than Westminster Abbey. It can be visited for free by going to a service. The choir service is very beautiful, and there is the option of sitting in the choir stalls. It is one of the must-see places in London.

The carols and services held at this cathedral are commendable, and the architecture is undeniably awe-inspiring. However, the experience is marred by the conduct of some staff members, better training is surely needed. It is truly disappointing to witness such behaviour in a place of worship that should embody fairness and respect. I attended the Evensong service several times and returned tonight with a friend before the new year. During the service, there was constant disruption from people walking around, leaving, and even taking photos and filming—activities that clearly interfere with those trying to pray. Despite this, the staff failed to address these disruptions even these all happened next to them. After the service, we stayed respectfully until the end and I wanted to show my friend the impressive front of the hall. Unfortunately, a staff member stopped us, stating, "the service is finished." We respected this rule and were about to leave, but then saw others walking freely to the front, some even chatting with staff who responded warmly and allowed them to proceed. Confused, we moved to the other side to see if we could follow, only to be stopped again. When we enquired why others were permitted while we were not, the response was dismissive: "People may go to the front for a reason, but we can't let you do that just to have a look." This inconsistency in treatment is unacceptable. We understand the cathedral has rules, and they should apply equally to everyone. It is baffling why tourists blatantly taking photos—a behaviour that should be prohibited—were allowed to proceed, while we, behaving respectfully, were denied. If the staff aim to preserve the sanctity of the cathedral, their focus should be on maintaining order during services and preventing filming and photography. We respect this cathedral, its services, and its sacred mission. We made a donation upon entering as a gesture of goodwill. Yet the staff's discriminatory and dismissive behaviour left us feeling undervalued and insulted. It’s deeply troubling that such conduct could occur in a place dedicated to fairness and compassion. As someone educated in a Church of England school for much of my life, I’ve always seen respect and kindness as central to church values. The behaviour we experienced here contradicts these principles. Prejudice has no place in a church that should embody equality and love for all. This review is not an attack on the cathedral itself, which remains a place of great beauty and reverence, but a call for reflection and improvement in staff conduct. Let this not tarnish the sacredness of this place. God bless all who seek Him with honesty and fairness.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is breathtaking! The architecture is stunning, and the interior is awe-inspiring. Free entry during mass service. Climb to the top for panoramic views.

A highly recommended visit with the possibility of seeing London from the galleries of the cathedral and the crypts where important figures from British history rest.

Spectacular we only saw it from the outside.

Good climb. At the last one you have to continue because you have to use another staircase to go back. But doable.

Beautiful. The only disadvantage is that you are not allowed to take photos.

A huge cathedral full of history . You need to make time for your visit. Accessible via Red buses. It has plenty of clean restrooms and a very good cafe . I highly recommend this place .

You are able to go inside for free

When I visited at 9:30, there was a choir singing hymns since it was Sunday. It was a beautiful and solemn singing voice. I sat there and listened for a while. Once you exit and enter from the side, you will find a shop and a toilet in the basement. The shop was relatively inexpensive. The basement is warm and there are benches so tired people can take a break. I also heard hymns. I had heard that I could climb the tower on weekdays, but it happened to be a Sunday, so I was disappointed.

Gorgeous cathedral and one of London’s most iconic landmarks.

Definitely worth seeing. Entrance to the cathedral costs money

So much history. But it costs £25 for a adult to get the tour of inside.

Beautiful church, nice service, and welcoming staff. Loved the gift shop in the basement too!

Wonderful attraction in the heart of London!

Beautiful, powerful, glorious, alive spirit, amazing to see so much colourful, holy church!

Beautiful cathedral, the only drawback is the paid entrance fee.

A magnificent place to visit. It is divided into 3 parts, one at street level, with a dome, nave, choir, etc., another in the basement (the crypt) and finally, you go up to the large dome with views to the outside. The ticket includes a very complete audio guide.

I’ve passed by St. Paul’s countless times. I can count the times I’ve went inside on one hand, but never walked the 528 steps to the top until recently. It was a quite the steep climb, but well worth it! I recommend taking your time, there is a lot of stopping points toward the top so you can catch your breath.

HeSt. Paul’s Cathedral is a breathtaking masterpiece of architecture and history. The iconic dome dominates London’s skyline and offers spectacular views from the top. Inside, the intricate design, beautiful mosaics, and peaceful atmosphere make it a truly special experience. The Whispering Gallery is fascinating, and the crypt holds significant historical figures. It’s a must-visit landmark for anyone exploring London, offering a blend of beauty, history, and spirituality.

A wonderful visit to a classic London landmark and Sir Christopher Wren's most famous building. Gorgeous exterior and interior, and such interesting history. Will be back for an Advent or Lucia service to view the cathedral by candlelight.

Spectacular!! It is worth the visit

Disappointing Very limited visitable area

Wonderful! It's worth it in the evening and I recommend stopping by even just for photos! It is close to the St. Paul tube stop

The cathedral is magnificent! By purchasing a ticket, you can go up to the dome, from where an amazing view of the city opens up. The climb is part of the thrill. We stayed for the lunch service, which is different from the service in an Orthodox church and an interesting experience.

The structure is majestic - the Christmas Eve Mass was underwhelming: put some microphones and speakers so that everybody can feel a bit more involved, not just the few in the central space or near the altar...

It's St Paul's. It's larger on the inside than on the outside, and has an incredible ability to transfer sound around the building.

This is truly amazing. This is definitely worth a visit. It's absolutely stunning.

A tourist attraction. During the festive season, if you want to join the church service. Get there 1 hour before the service time to beat the long queues

A historic location full of charge and meaning! I recommend!

A unique cathedral. I am impressed with the interior.

A splendor! Absolutely worth visiting.

An amazing church, the architecture of this monument is unbelievable. The inside of the temple makes you stand and appreciate the work done so many years ago

I didn't go inside because I consider the costs excessive, around €25 per person,

We only saw it from the outside because there was a concert and we had to wait an hour and a half to get in.

On December 25th there was a free Christmas mass There was a wonderful concert here.

Sumptuous London cathedral, to visit quite a while. It has bar service in the basement

Pretty nice considering it's expensive to see the cathedral.

Super place to visit, and recommend you book the tour around the cathedral very interesting, and the tour guides are very knowledgeable and know what they are talking about. Well worth it.

Beautiful Cathedral with lots of history

Well how many cathedrals can one take when visiting UK. Make this one and Canterbury a must. Climb the top before its too late.

Great place to visit from the inside

Beautiful Cathedral, compared to some in Spain. It gets four stars. View from the top dome is amazing.

It is a pretty cathedral that looks similar to Baekan Pavilion. It is an Anglican cathedral and was rebuilt after being burned down during the Great Fire of London. It's a newer(?) building than I thought. Experience the beauty of the dome for yourself

You can enter the mass for free

Must visit in london. Ticket bit pricey.

Monumental Christmas Service for Blood Cancer UK. Flawless.

Such an amazing cathedral to visit, just to know the princess Diana entered those doors at her wedding worth a visit. It's a huge place with lots to see and learn,they even offer free tours if you want to learn or know more about it's history.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is an architectural masterpiece and one of London’s most awe-inspiring landmarks. With its iconic dome dominating the city skyline, it’s a must-visit for history buffs, architecture lovers, and anyone seeking a serene and spiritual experience. Highlights: The Magnificent Dome The dome of St. Paul’s is breathtaking both inside and out. Climbing to the top is a rewarding experience, offering stunning views of London from the Golden Gallery. The climb is a bit steep, but the panoramic views make it worth the effort. The Whispering Gallery Inside the dome, the Whispering Gallery is a fascinating feature where sound travels around the curved walls. Whisper into the wall, and someone on the opposite side can hear you clearly—a fun and unique experience. The Interior The cathedral’s interior is absolutely stunning, with intricate mosaics, beautiful stained-glass windows, and ornate carvings. The high ceilings and spiritual ambiance make it a place of reflection and awe. The Crypt The crypt houses the tombs of notable figures such as Admiral Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. It’s a quiet and humbling part of the cathedral, rich with history. The Churchyard and Gardens Surrounding the cathedral are peaceful gardens where you can relax and take in the majestic view of the structure.

First time I have visited even though I have been coming to London for many years. A queue to get in to purchase tickets so probably better to order in advance but not a long wait. Absolutely phenomenal inside. Many many steps to the top so not suitable for those who are not very agile.Kerl your ticket available if wanting to visit the crypt. Many notable people tombs and chantrys to commemorate. Nice cafe in the crypt and shop full of interesting things. Well worth a visit.

It's definitely a must see-cathedral if you grew up watching all those royal weddings! (Princess Diana and Charles wedding) An absolute architectural masterpiece!! Beautiful! This Cathedral is also the mother church of the Diocese of London! We were lucky enough to hear a service while we were there. The climb up the spiral stairs to see the paintings on the ceiling is not for the faint hearted. There are no landings so make sure you are prepared. There is an elevator as well but I wasn't sure if it was open for us to use.

The most peaceful place in Central London. My place of worship!

Beautiful place, so much history and craftsmanship. Highly recommended to walk around city of London and stop here to appreciate such a marvel.

every staircase is worth the money.

An incredible place be careful if you want to climb the dome the 528 steps hurt your legs

The cathedral is an absolute masterpiece. However, I was unable to visit the altar part because I was praying. I showed up the next day, but they were shooting a movie. I go to the back, where there is a complete tour of the church, but I had little time. It cost about thirty euros. Disappointed because they told me at the entrance that if I returned I would see it without problems and instead I find myself in my hand with a fist half full of riches seen.

St Paul's Cathedral is impressive inside and out. Climbing the dome is an incredible experience with spectacular panoramic views of London. The ceiling fresco and the crypt are highlights of the visit.

Beautiful building, a must see if you are in London. A guided tour is definitely worth it, but we didn't do it.

I have to say that 27 pounds to enter is excessive (since the museums are free)

Very nice and big cathedral, definitely a feast to the eyes. From the details on the architecture to the paintings, it was beautiful. Make sure to get plenty pictures but also enjoy the time there in person, truly a sight to behold.

We went to a Sunday service while visiting London. Amazing place to visit even if you're not going to a service. Highly recommend.

London Cathedral, very beautiful inside, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to climb the dome and at most some of it, posdsta: you have to climb more than 250 steps, but the views are incredible.

Saint Paul Cathedral, impressive place just by looking at it. We couldn't get in because of the time, but we enjoyed seeing the magnificent architecture.

Impressive inside and from above! The view is great

Superb, very well commented by the audio guide. Don't hesitate to climb to the top! (Vertigo phobics and claustrophobics, refrain and stay down)

Stunning architecture by Sir Christopher Wren, unique Baroque style. The dome is incredibly ornate, and well worth the climb for the Whispering Gallery and fabulous views over London. The 'Martyrs' video artwork (the first of its kind in the world) is powerful.

Not disabled friendly! They have a lift (elevator) but they don’t let you use it.

I came in August and liked it so much that I came back. In the summer, you could purchase an admission ticket and receive a detailed explanation from an audio guide. Today I visited to listen to carols in the morning. Although it is not as grand or gigantic as the Vatican Cathedral, its internal structure, with its unique British delicacy, is impressive. Sir Christopher Wren's genius architectural skills. It is also a place where you can study British history, including the tomb of Admiral Nelson, a symbol of indomitability that survived the Great Air Raid in World War II. The murals on the dome and the Whispering Gallery that you can see as you go up the long corridor. There is a lot to enjoy if you stay for more than two hours.

The interior of the church is very spectacular, gorgeous yet solemn. With the audio guide, you can better understand some architecture, religion, and contemporary society, which is very helpful. If your physical strength allows, you can also take the challenge of climbing the stairs to see the London city from above, which is very beautiful. Overall, you can spend three hours here to savor it, and it’s definitely worth the price of admission.

Really enjoyed my visit here. I love old churches and this was one of my favourites. It's easy to get around, the guides are really knowledgeable. The audio guide is really helpful too.

Very pretty cathedral. She is so majestic. We loved it, it’s a shame we didn’t come back…

Must see and go early. Take a free guided tour.

Wow! Truly wonderful! Superb interior. An amazing bird's-eye view of the city from outside the dome.

Visit this amazing Cathedral with its domed gallery. An audio guide accompanies you through the Cathedral and Crypt. There is a shop and coffee corner.

Went for the American Thanksgiving service. Wonderful service with even better architecture. Highly recommend visiting, even if not for a service.

Service is awfull. You need a printed ticket to come in! QR code is not enougth! Why?

£25 for a church!!!! It's still a long line!!!!

St. Paul’s Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking, both inside and out. The grand architecture and rich history make it a must-visit. Climbing to the top for panoramic views of London was the highlight—an unforgettable experience!

Although it is a bit of a distance from Big Ben and the London Eye, it is still within walking distance. There is an admission fee of £25 for adults and £10 for children.

Glorious and a truly unbelievable experience to walk through what is nothing short of a masterpiece. So iconic and a must see if in London

How many beautiful historical sensations in this cathedral... I have loved it since Mary Poppins' time

Really nice but the ticket to get in was expensive (25 pounds)

If you like churches you'll love the cathedral and the crypt lots to see and there's a nice shop and cafe to visit. Whilst we were visiting they had choir practice which was amazing.

Amazing but legs and knees destroying.

Incredible architecture, one of the most beautiful and emblematic buildings in London

St. Paul’s Cathedral, an architectural marvel and one of London’s most famous landmarks, stands proudly in the heart of the city. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1710 after the Great Fire of London, this iconic structure is a stunning example of English Baroque architecture. Its massive dome, one of the largest in the world, has become a defining feature of London’s skyline and offers breathtaking views from the top. Inside, visitors can admire the intricate mosaics, the impressive Whispering Gallery with its unique acoustics, and the crypt, which houses the tombs of notable figures like Admiral Lord Nelson and Sir Christopher Wren himself. St. Paul’s also has a deep spiritual significance as the mother church of the Diocese of London and has hosted historical events, including the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. The cathedral’s beauty, history, and grandeur make it a must-see for anyone exploring London’s rich cultural heritage.

Very beautiful cathedral with a very complete visit from bottom to top Martin Luther gave a speech, very interesting. To be done as a priority.

Absolutely worth seeing. The climb is also worth it. Great view from the top. But strenuous climb and narrow stairs and corridors.

Looks great from the outside, but 25 pounds (?!!) for entry? I understand that this should be financed without government subsidies, but for me 25 pounds is totally unjustified.

It is worth a visit even if you have to pay 25 pounds to enter... the very beautiful dome in the crypt contains Nelson's tombs... you can climb the dome and see the whole cathedral inside from above... then you can climb outside the dome and see London from above… maximum height reached approximately 80m

A beautiful, imposing building, the surroundings of which are also charming. We didn't go inside, it didn't fit into the program, but viewing it from the outside is also a wonderful experience.

Very impressive, must-see building. Great for photo opp - interior is awesome

Exceptional cathedral to absolutely see, it is possible to access all the nooks and crannies of it to discover it

The cathedral is splendid, especially from an architectural point of view. However, the entrance fee is quite high, especially for a family of four, and the visit is relatively short. Unless you are a real enthusiast of architecture, history, or very religious, it is perhaps better to admire it from the outside.

Amazing place. Be sure to go to the top golden gallery! Amen!
