Seen it from the outside both during the day and at night, and each view leaves a different impression. By day, the dome dominates the skyline with quiet authority. At night, it’s beautifully lit and feels almost cinematic against the dark sky. I’ve only been inside once, during a mass, and even without exploring the full interior, the atmosphere was powerful. The acoustics, the light filtering th...

The Cathedral is closed for tourists on Sunday, but not for worship. I’d recommend going for Sung Eucharist or Choral Evensong for the beautiful singing amongst a gorgeous historic cathedral. It’s an amazing place of prayer, to thank and reconcile with God amongst monuments to the great and good of this nation. I can’t wait to come back as a tourist!

Highlights are the whispering gallery, the monuments, the whole size of the place, the views from the top (the main dome balcony is great but don't go to the very top of you have vertigo). The secondary things, they have...

And if you’re a...

Visiting St Paul’s Cathedral was an unforgettable experience. The architecture is breathtaking from the outside, but it’s the inside that really leaves you speechless. The sheer size of the dome, the detail in the mosaics, and the peaceful atmosphere make it truly special. It’s not the cheapest ticket in London, but I’d say it’s absolutely worth it for the history, beauty, and the experience of st...
