BESTIt was good. Going up to the observatory was harder than I thought, but the cathedral was so beautiful and it was a valuable experience.
A must see place in London,
st paul's cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is London's landmark and representative cathedral, boasting a history of over 300 years. It was completely burned down in the Great Fire of London in 1666, but architect Christopher Wren rebuilt it over 35 years and has its current appearance. Its current form, with a round dome reaching 110 meters in height, is a reconstruction.
The interior is very luxuriously decorated. The murals are made of mosaics, and the ceiling paintings are dazzlingly beautiful. In particular, you can climb the cathedral stairs to the dome, and if you climb up to the Stone Gallery, which is an observatory here, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of downtown London.

St. Paul's Cathedral, which boasts 300 years of history, is one of London's famous travel attractions. One of the highlights of St. Paul's Cathedral are the paintings and decorations on the dome.
Take your time and focus on each and every painting at St. Paul's Cathedral. Beautiful pictures will be more noticeable. In addition to the painting decorations, there are Whispering Gallery, Stone Gallery, and Golden Gallery, so be sure to check them out.
How to easily get to St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral in London is located in the Tate Modern on the Thames River. So there are quite a few ways to get there. The nearest subway station is St.Paul's on the Central Line. However, it is also close to Mansion House Station, which is a transfer station for the Circle Line and District Line, so you can decide which station is more convenient for your location.
If you are traveling by train, it is also quite close to City Thameslink train station .
Experience St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral in London is always crowded with people. So, it is important to decide which order to watch first.
Be the first to see the crypt tombs and monuments. Afterwards, go to the first floor chapel, Whispering Gallery, Stone Gallery, and Golden Gallery in that order. Among the various places, see the popular ones first and then enjoy at your leisure.
Be sure to climb the cathedral dome
Finish by climbing the dome, the highlight of St. Paul's Cathedral, for a spectacular view. The city view from high up is really beautiful, but the road up to the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral is more rugged than you think. First, there is no elevator, so you have to climb the circular stairs to get up to the dome, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes.
