Lifelong learning is a core part of the our work, delivered through a variety of events by St Paul's Institute, and the Cathedral's Adult Learning and Schools & Family Learning departments.

History & Collections
For more than 1,400 years, a Cathedral dedicated to St Paul has stood at the highest point in the City. The present Cathedral is the masterpiece of Britain's most famous architect Sir Christopher Wren.

Support Us
Behind the scenes, the cost of caring for St Paul's and continuing to deliver our central ministry and work is enormous and the generosity of our supporters is critical.

Designed especially for adults and children with various disabilities, visitors can enjoy a full programme of tours, talks and workshops.
British Sign Language and Audio Described Tours are also available via the Cathedral’s multimedia guides.
For the first time this year, the Cathedral will feature a special 8.30am early opening for families with children who would appreciate a quieter
time.
All visitors are also invited to take part in the Cathedral’s daily cycle of worship, with a Eucharist service at 12.30pm and Choral Evensong sung by the full Cathedral Choir at 5pm.
You can also follow events as they unfold across the day on Twitter at @stpaulslondon and with the #AccessDay hash tag.
Lynn Johnson, Visits Manager at St Paul’s, said: “When Sir Christopher Wren was designing St Paul’s, the concept of accessibility was still
centuries away. But in recent times, we have worked incredibly hard to be inclusive of all people and this Disabled Access
Day will give us the chance to show people they should not be nervous or intimidated about visiting us, whether as a sightseer or
worshipper.
“We hope to be involved in this wonderful scheme for many years to come.”
George Fielding (pictured), who visited on the last Disabled Access Day, said on Twitter: "...toured beautiful building...Learnt bundles...Access =
Education"
