Lift out of action

Our lift is currently out of action and awaiting repair. We're working hard to get it back up and running as soon as possible, but at the moment, access to the Crypt and accessible toilet is only possible via steps. Visitors who need an accessible toilet can use the facilities located in nearby Paternoster Square.

A Wedding in the Crypt of St Paul's Cathedral

Weddings, baptisms and confirmations

Understand the criteria for those who wish to be married, baptised or confirmed at St Paul's, and what next steps to take if you or a family member are eligible.
A small number of weddings, baptisms and confirmations take place in the Cathedral every year. 

On the following pages you can find detailed information about these services and their eligibility criteria. For weddings and baptisms, only a small number of people are able to apply. For confirmation, all Christians worshipping within the Diocese of London are eligible to be confirmed at St Paul’s – however, we ask that candidates are sponsored by their parish priest and that they undergo a period of preparation.
