Join us under the dome for a short organ showcase from 1.15 to 2pm, when you will be able to experience the power and versatility of our iconic Grand Organ through popular repertoire and demonstrations.

Evensong at 3pm

Everyone is welcome to join us for a service of Evensong at 3pm with music by Stanford and Elgar, along with Handel's legendary anthem, Zadok the Priest.

 

Please note, Lord Mayor’s Show Day is one of our busiest days of the year. Closing times may be subject to change, and we may need to limit access should we reach capacity. Our team is here to help and we’re grateful for your patience.

Please also be aware that the City of London is closed to traffic throughout the day. The nearest Tube station is St Paul’s on the Central line.
