St Paul’s Cathedral, whose dome dominates London’s skyline, is England’s architectural masterpiece and place of national celebration. The cathedral was designed by the famed architect Sir Christopher Wren, after the Great Fire of London in 1666 destroyed its predecessor. The cathedral took 35 years to build from 1675 – 1710, spanning the lives of five monarchs and was the first cathedral to have been built and completed in its architect’s lifetime.
St Paul’s Cathedral is where people and events of overwhelming national significance have been celebrated, mourned or commemorated. From state funerals for British heroes such as Sir Winston Churchill, to the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer, and National Services of Thanksgiving to celebrate the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilee’s of Her Majesty the Queen.
IPod touch-screen multimedia guides in 11 languages are included for sightseers offering up to 90 minutes of audio commentary, videos and imagery for a self guided tour. Tours led by cathedral guides are also offered, usually starting at 10.00, 11.00, 13.00 & 14.00 and last for 90 minutes; visitors should register to join a tour once inside the cathedral.

Update - Ecce Homo by Mark Wallinger to be displayed on the West Steps this April AND May
The now iconic work, Ecce Homo, 1999, was the first work to be displayed on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square. It was inspired in 1999 by the then-impending millennium and a curiosity about the role of religion in discussions about the significance of 2000AD. Wallinger said his sculpture of Christ was not meant to be perverse or tongue in cheek. “I wanted to show him as an ordinary human being, Jesus was at the very least a political leader of an oppressed people”.
Ecce Homo will greet visitors at the top of the West Steps between 10 April and 22 May 2017.
