St. Pauls Cathedral

The most extraordinary feature of the London skyline is the world-famous dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. The masterpiece is one of London's must-see sights. St. Paul's Cathedral is an architectural beauty; the sparkling mosaics, the beautiful stone carving, the magnificent view down the nave towards the Quire are just a few reasons why you must go and see the churchl.

St. Paul's has been giving London its spiritual focus since its first service in 1697. While most royals marry at Westminster Abbey, Prince Charles of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer were married here. Visitors ca view The Light of the World by Holman Hunt, which is an extraordinary work of art.

The internal areas have been redone and the light that now floods the space puts life back into the once dead luminescent stone, mosaics, carvings and sculpture. In the Dome, notice the beautiful 18th century paintings by Sir James Thornhill showing scenes from the life of St. Paul.

Other nearby attractions include the Museum of London, the Globe Theatre, the London Dungeon and the Tate Modern.
