St. Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul's is a famous, busy place. It is often described as "the Nation's Church" and is the "Mother Church" for the Diocese of London. It is the seat of the Bishop of London and a centre of prayer, worship and debate for the people of the city and its surrounding boroughs. It is also used annually as a venue for concerts, productions and celebrations of all kinds.

There's so much to see and discover at St Paul's. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
