The dome and the Whispering Gallery. Not also the Abbey the same day. Next is Millennium Bridge — do not also stack the Abbey the same day.
Analysis
St Paul's Cathedral is not a facade you glance at. About 08:30–16:30. The quiet hour is the first after opening. A service may close the nave. Leave via St. Paul's.
Best time
Just after opening
How to go
St Paul's
Transit
Tap at St. Paul's. If a service closes St Paul's Cathedral, do not leave the last train until after the service ends.
Season window
Christmas and Easter change the hours at St Paul's Cathedral. In winter stay indoors. In summer the steps bake at noon — move to shade or a side aisle.
Tips
- · Tickets: High: adult tickets on the official site — do not freeze a guide number. Plan about 70 minutes.
- · The dome is many steps; the nave alone is enough if knees complain
- · Keep voices down inside St Paul's Cathedral. There are stone steps; wet soles slip. Bags come off the shoulder.
