A fabulous place that transports you back in time, a site steeped in history with impressive galleries. Inside and outside the castle there are beautiful places to take photos, and the crown jewels are also fabulous to admire. My husband gave me a ring for our 25th anniversary. Afterwards, walk across London Bridge, enjoying the views and the great structure of the bridge. Leave your fear behind and walk on the glass of the bridge... enjoy it to the fullest!

The Whispering Gallery

Perched 30 meters above the nave, this circular gallery crafted by Sir Christopher Wren provides breathtaking views of the cathedral's grand interior and hosts a remarkable acoustic marvel. Here, whispered words travel effortlessly across the curvature, allowing you to experience a fascinating auditory phenomenon as your softest utterances echo clearly from one side to the other.

The Nave

Stretching 247 feet long, the nave is adorned with finely crafted wooden seating and Corinthian pilasters. Saucer-shaped domes crown each bay, while clerestory windows encased in lunettes illuminate the spacious interior.

The Chapels

The cathedral's sacred spaces include chapels steeped in history and individuality. The Chapel of St. Michael and St. George in the crypt pays tribute to the British Empire's servants. Adjacent, the American Memorial Chapel commemorates World War II's fallen American soldiers and is adorned with a poignant stained glass creation by Lawrence Lee.

The Crypt

Echoing the cathedral's layout above, this expansive crypt is the UK's largest. It hosts the tombs of Admiral Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, and architect, Sir Christopher Wren. The crypt features models of current and pre-fire cathedrals and accommodates 350 guests for events at its western end.

The Oculus

Situated in the crypt's former Treasury, the Oculus offers a 270° film experience that animates 1,400 years of the cathedral's history. This feature is a highlight of the Interpretation Project, designed to enrich visitor engagement.

The West Front

The cathedral's majestic west front showcases a central portico with paired Corinthian columns beneath a triangular pediment, flanked by twin bell towers with pedimented upper stages and spires. Constructed from Portland stone with a lead-clad dome, it commands the London skyline, complemented by Wren's surrounding spires.
