Booking a Visit

Before your trip to St Paul's the important information below will help ensure your visit is a happy and memorable one.

Before Your Visit
Please get in touch with learning@stpaulscathedral.org.uk to book a risk assessment visit in advance of your trip. Risk assessment visits are free of charge for teachers from a booked school visit only, with the presentation of a valid teacher ID and when booked in advance.

We will then ask you to send us a copy of your risk assessment.

The Schools & Family Learning Centre
Our cloakroom, lavatories and classroom are available to schools / groups which have booked a visit. Morning groups may eat packed lunches in the classroom or crypt area and you will be advised of this when you book. Lunchtimes may have to be staggered during busy periods. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate afternoon groups for lunch, so we ask that you eat lunch before you arrive. The churchyard gardens are ideal to picnic in, when good weather permits.

Climbing to the Dome and Galleries
You can also take your pupils up to the exterior Stone and Golden Galleries for an amazing view of London, however the Whispering Galleries have been closed temporarily until further notice. Gallery access is £2.50 (exc VAT) per pupil in addition to the UK school visit price and it is included in the non-UK school admission prices.

SEND & Accessibility
We are always happy to work with teachers to adapt visit content in order to meet each group's different requirements, where possible. Please have a look at our Access and SEND page for further information.
