St. Paul's Cathedral is a recognized landmark in the London skyline thanks to its famed dome. This Anglican cathedral houses the London Bishop and acts as the mother church for the London Diocese. The church's huge, 66,000-ton dome is a marvel of engineering.

 

The Whispering Gallery, Stone Gallery, and Narrow Gallery are three galleries at the summit of the dome. You can reach these galleries by ascending the cathedral's five twenty-eight steps. Major historic occasions, including the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer and the funerals of Admiral Nelson and Winston Churchill, have taken place at the chapel. Once inside, you may learn more about the cathedral's fascinating past and enjoy its breathtaking interior.
