St Paul's Cathedral
The dome of St Paul's Cathedral is the third largest in the world and is one of the most distinctive features of the London skyline. The present building, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, was completed in 1710 on the site of the original cathedral that was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
On the inside of the dome, the Whispering Gallery, named for its incredible acoustics, offers a close-up of the frescoes of the life of St Paul that decorate the interior of the dome. From there, visitors can climb higher up to two further galleries, which are outdoors and which offer magnificent views across the whole of London. Guided tours are available, book in advance.
