Phase 1 of Equal Access Project at St Paul's completed

9 Sept 2021 Earlier this year St Paul’s Cathedral completed Phase 1 of the Equal Access project, the first major phase of a permanent accessible entrance to the Cathedral. The project is the most significant change to Christopher Wren’s exterior design in 300 years, taking 20 years from design to completion. We hope the entrance will open to the public in spring 2022.
