Special Sunday opening for St Paul's Dome

Chance to see part of St Paul’s Cathedral not usually seen by visitors

'550 steps up, and back down again, and a chance to see a part of St Paul’s Cathedral not usually seen by visitors'

A glowing review of a Dome climb by top London blog Ian Visits reveals special sights for Sunday visitors.

More than a thousand visitors have climbed the Dome on each of the first two Sunday openings in May. You can still visit - on 15, 22 and 29 May.

No booking is available for these Sunday visits - just turn up and take advantage of the limited chance. As Ian Visits notes: '... it is the best place in London to get skyline photos without a sheet of glass or protective netting in the way.'

The Sunday visits make use of a different entrance to weekdays, to make sure that worshippers in our working church are not disturbed.

Find out more about specially-reduced prices for the May Sunday openings - and climb the Dome yourself this month.
