Worship & Music

St Paul’s Cathedral has been here for over 1,400 years. It has been built and rebuilt five times, and always its main purpose has been as a place of worship and prayer.

Learning & Faith

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.

Documentaries, filming, photography

We welcome respectful non-flash photography for personal use inside the Cathedral outside service times. As a working church, there are some restrictions to this which can be found on our photography page.

Video and commercial photography is not permitted inside the Cathedral without advanced permission and a St Paul's escort. We receive many requests for filming and photographic facilities - sadly we cannot facilitate them all.

To request a facility please email with a completed checklist at least four weeks in advance of your planned shoot date.

If a request can be fulfilled via existing Cathedral stock images we are unlikely to arrange a bespoke shoot.
