family mother father son nave dome

St Paul's, with its world-famous dome, is an iconic feature of the London skyline. We welcome visitors to worship, to sightsee and to attend a dynamic programme of events – from orchestral performances to thought-provoking panel discussions.

Our free-to-attend daily services are open to all, and offer a chance to hear the inspiring voices of our Cathedral choir and our other talented musicians.

Those coming to sightsee can walk in the footsteps of royalty and political leaders on the Cathedral Floor, explore the Crypt where our nation's heroes are buried – or scale our Dome and enjoy unrivalled views across London. Visit our History and Collections section to explore more of the intriguing stories in our past.
