“Rip off”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2012 NEW

£15 per person to get in - I think that says it all, what an absolute rip off!!! Shame because the building is beautiful but at that cost, forget it. More

“Looks cool”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

Looked really cool. Didn't tour because they wanted like 15 pounds to go in and then you couldn't take any pictures which I really wanted to do. Apparently very strict about not taking pictures in churches. Supposed to be a cool view if you take the like 500 steps to the top. More

“Try to visit during a choral service!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

It's amazing! Every evening you have the opportunity of seeing St. Paul's Cathedral alive, used in the way it's been projected to be used! Of course, at during the service there is no fee. More

“Elegance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

Having been to Westminster Abbey there are immediate differences, it is simply decorated, it has elegance, stunning white walls, light filtering in, it is an amazing building. We take a guided tour with 'London Walks' through the cathedral, into the crypt, and at the end of the tour climb the 257 stairs to the Whispering Gallery and a further 271... More

“If you have a disability it will limit your access”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

In mid May I visited the Cathedral in London. I had prepaid my ticket which would allow access to all areas. The audio is excellent with plenty of great information as you walk around without question one of the great iconic Cathedrals in the world. Photos are not allowed which is understandable and the attendants are all very helpful. It... More

“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2012 NEW

This place makes you impressed even if you are not a spiritual. Entrance fee is really high, but I got the London Pass for 2 days and tried to see as much places as I could with this free entrance opportunity. You can spend at least 2-3 hours in the cathedral and the time passes by without noticing it. The... More

“Spiritual”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 19, 2012

I am NOT a spiritual person, but the theme and feeling of this building will make your spiritual bone begin to resonate. Take the time to visit the underground crypts to see a great deal more of history to boot. More

Only saw from the outside but that was nice. Other travelers in our group said it wasn't worth the entrance fee though. More

“Better in real life than any photograph”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2012

We went to St. Paul's because we had never visited it in previous trips to London. We had seen photos and of course pictures of the interior on television for events such as the wedding of Prince Charles to Diana Spencer. Once we entered the building we were overwhelmed with the beauty and immenseness of the church. There is so... More
