St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Churchyard Ludgate Hill, London  EC4M 8AD • 20-7236-4128
Description:
CITY. Sir Christopher Wren's architectural masterpiece should be at the top of any sightseeing list. The sprawling cathedral is notable for its artistry and design, but it also offers a fascinating glimpse of England's religious history. Plus, it affords one of the best views of the Thames and the London skyline from its dome – although you must tackle 530 narrow steps to get there. The Whispering Gallery, the crypt, the treasury and the chapels surrounding the main transepts are fascinating as well. TUBE: St. Paul's
