St Paul's Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral is a living place of worship with a grand sightseeing experience beneath and above its dome. The cathedral floor and crypt provide the architectural and historical core; the dome galleries add a very different perspective for those able and willing to climb.

Allow about two hours, starting with the main interior and multimedia guide before deciding how much of the upper route suits you. A sightseeing ticket includes the cathedral floor, crypt and dome galleries, subject to access on the day; the climb is not a compulsory part of the visit.

Sightseeing normally runs Monday to Saturday, while worship has its own arrangements. Check service-related changes before reserving and consult the accessibility information for the galleries. Family tickets and eligibility discounts can be better value than buying separate full-price admissions.
