What to expect

St Paul's Cathedral is a vibrant church, a national treasure, and a London icon. The cathedral is home to a spectacular array of art, from the delicate carvings of Grinling Gibbons in the quire to Sir James Thornhill's gilded dome murals. Visitors can explore the stories behind some of the key pieces in the collection. The cathedral offers guided tours, interactive activities, and a What's On calendar, which lists upcoming services, special performances, talks, workshops, and more. The cathedral's dome, surrounded by the spires of Wren's City churches, has dominated the skyline for over 300 years. At 365 ft high, it was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1963. The cathedral is a working church with hourly prayer and daily services
