How to buy tickets for St Paul's Cathedral

The history of St. Paul’s Cathedral is truly fascinating. This is a building that has gone through multiple iterations over the course of several centuries. It’s been the site of many important historical events, and it is still one of the most iconic buildings in London’s skyline.


The history of St. Paul’s Cathedral is very colourful as at least four different churches have as been built at this site. The first church dedicated to St. Paul was built by King Erkenwald back in 604 AD. In the beginning, it was only a simple wooden church. Unfortunately, it would eventually be destroyed by fire.

The earliest iterations of St. Paul’s Cathedral never lasted very long. They’d always inevitably be destroyed by fire or Viking attacks. Finally, Bishop Maurice would build a cathedral in 1087 AD that would last almost 600 years. This structure is now affectionately referred to as the Old St. Paul’s Cathedral, and it would be the centre of religious life in London during its lifetime.

Sadly, this cathedral would also succumb to fire during the Great Fire of London in 1666. This fire destroyed four-fifths of London. This included 13,200 houses and 89 churches. One of those churches would be St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Of course, the history of St. Paul’s Cathedral doesn’t end there. Christopher Wren, who was initially contracted to renovate the cathedral, was assigned the task of completely rebuilding it. He had to go through three different designs before getting approved.

The first of these designs were considered too modest. The second design, known as the Great Model, was an ambitious project with a massive dome and Corinthian columns. This was also rejected as it was considered inappropriate for large processions.








Now that we’ve discussed the history of St. Paul’s Cathedral, let’s take a closer look at its architecture. Overall, the cathedral was built in a restrained Baroque style. Easily, its most recognisable feature is its gigantic dome. This was influenced by Michaelangelo’s Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica.

The dome stands at almost 365 feet and weighs over 65,000 tons. As a result, St. Paul’s Cathedral was the tallest building in London until the late 20th century. The dome is one of the largest such structures in the world.

Furthermore, the 560 steps that lead to the top of the dome lead visitors through three different galleries. These are the Whispering Gallery, the Stone Gallery, and the Golden Gallery. The Whispering Gallery is well-known for its incredible acoustics while the Golden Gallery provides an absolutely incredible view of the city.




The crypt also contains several notable figures throughout history. Many of these are artists such as Constable, Turner, and Reynolds. The tombs of the Duke of Wellington, Admiral Nelson, and Christopher Wren himself can also be found here.


Visiting hours at St Paul’s Cathedral is Monday to Saturday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The Dome Galleries open at 9:30 am. On Sundays and religious holidays such as Easter and Christmas, the St Paul’s Cathedral is open for worship only.
