About St Paul's Cathedral

London's largest cathedral, and a massive historical monument.

Access for the public includes the main floor, the undercroft where most of the monuments are based, and up high to the top of the dome.

Dome climbs can be a bit scary for those afraid of heights, but there is a chance to go outside and look down from almost the very top of the dome if you make it all the way up.

Photography is allowed in the cathedral, except during services.
