Making the most of your experience

Book your St Paul's Cathedral and chosen London icon ticket together for the ultimate stress-free holiday layout. Choose tickets with built-in digital multimedia guides to unlock rich historical contexts.

  • Plan your combo day: Allow at least 2 to 2.5 hours to thoroughly explore St Paul’s Cathedral floor, crypt, and dome galleries before making the brief journey to the next London attraction.
  • Top highlights covered: At St Paul's, walk the grand Nave, see the tombs of Nelson and Wellington in the Crypt, and climb up the Dome. At other sights, enjoy the Crown Jewels or 360-degree skyline views.
  • St Paul's Cathedral: Open Monday to Saturday from 8:30am to 4:30pm (Wednesday doors open at 10am). Last entry for sightseeing is at 4pm. Note that it is closed to tourists on Sundays for services.
  • Partner Attractions: The Tower of London and the London Eye typically open around 9am to 10am daily, with extended operating hours during peak summer seasons.
  • Beat the crowds: Start your morning at St Paul's right at 8:30am to experience the serene echo of the nave before tour buses arrive, leaving your afternoon wide open for a flexible Thames cruise or London Eye flight.

St Paul's Cathedral is located at St. Paul's Churchyard, London EC4M 8AD. It sits right in the beating heart of the City of London with fast connections to nearby sights.

  • By subway/Tube: Take the Central Line directly to St. Paul's Station (a 2-minute walk) or use the District and Circle Lines to Mansion House or Blackfriars Station (a 5-minute walk).
  • To Tower of London: Walk to nearby Mansion House and take the eastbound District or Circle line straight to Tower Hill. The transit takes under 11 minutes total.
  • By bus: Routes 4, 8, 11, 15, 17, and 23 all stop directly outside the cathedral courtyard.

St Paul’s Cathedral

  • Wheelchair accessibility: The North Transept entrance features a modern step-free ramp equipped with automated doors, leading directly to the Cathedral floor and the crypt via an accessible lift. Accessible restrooms are located in both the crypt and the narthex. Please note that the Whispering, Stone, and Golden Galleries inside the dome are only accessible via steep stairs.
  • Wheelchair rental: A limited number of standard manual wheelchairs are available on-site for free on a first-come, first-served basis. Smaller mobility scooters are also permitted, provided they fit within the lift dimensions (1400mm x 1300mm).
  • Sensory-friendly options: The Cathedral is a grand, reverberant space that can feel overwhelming during peak hours. Calmer environments can be found within the side chapels or the crypt. For visitors requiring tactile or visual structure, sensory-friendly guides and visual resources can be requested at the admissions desk.
  • Service animals: Fully trained guide dogs, hearing dogs, and registered assistance animals are welcome inside all public areas of the Cathedral. Water bowls can be provided by the staff upon request.

Thames River cruise/Tower of London (Popular combos)

  • Wheelchair accessibility: Most major river cruise operators provide step-free boarding ramps at main piers such as Tower Pier or London Eye Pier, along with accessible lower decks and adapted restrooms. At the Tower of London, much of the outdoor space is cobbled, but the Crown Jewels enclosure has level, step-free access.
  • Wheelchair rental: River cruise operators do not rent wheelchairs onboard. The Tower of London offers free manual wheelchair loans at the main entrance, subject to availability.
  • Sensory-friendly options: Cruise boats feature temperature-controlled, enclosed lower decks that offer a much quieter environment away from the windy, crowded upper decks.
  • Service animals: Recognised assistance dogs are permitted across all standard London river cruises and throughout the grounds of the Tower of London.
  • Pair up iconic historic heavyweights: Book the St Paul's Cathedral and Tower of London combo ticket to experience London's two definitive architectural giants seamlessly in a single day.
  • Maximize your morning sightseeing: Start your day early at St Paul’s Cathedral when doors open to climb the dome with minimal foot traffic before the midday tour groups arrive.
  • Settle into the best cruise seats: Arrive at the pier at least 20 minutes before your scheduled Thames cruise departure to secure an open-air top-deck seat for panoramic, unobstructed photos.
  • Dress comfortably for historical climbs: Wear supportive shoes if you plan to conquer the 528 steps to the Golden Gallery, as the historic staircases are steep, narrow, and winding.
  • Capture the ultimate architectural shot: Walk halfway across the Millennium Bridge during the late afternoon 'golden hour' for the most symmetrical and beautifully lit framing of St Paul's dome.
  • Utilize the step-free transit pathway: Download the TfL Go App to map out step-free bus routes (like Bus 15) that connect St Paul’s to the Tower of London without handling underground stairs.
  • Respect active spaces of worship: Remember that St Paul’s is a working church; ensure your camera flash is turned off and maintain a respectful whisper when entering the side chapels.
  • Secure your spot in peak seasons: Lock in your timed entry voucher on your smartphone well in advance during summer months to effortlessly skip the main ticket window queues.
