St Paul's Cathedral
Closest Hotels to St Paul's Cathedral:
Built in 1673, St Paul’s Cathedral is Sir Christopher Wren’s most famous work. Its dome, one of the largest in Europe, stands out as one of the most distinctive features of London’s skyline. There has been a cathedral dedicated to St Paul on the site for more than 1400 years, and the present Cathedral stands on the site of an even older medieval cathedral that burned down during the Great Fire of 1666. Decorating the interior of the dome is the Whispering Gallery, so named for its incredible acoustics. Contained beneath the main cathedral floor is the Crypt, which is the largest in Europe, housing more than 200 tombs, including those of Admiral Nelson and the Duke of Wellington, and the tomb of Sir Christopher Wren himself. Over the years, the cathedral has been the setting for many historic events, including Sir Winston Churchill’s funeral in 1965, and the wedding of Prince Charles and the late Princess of Wales in 1981.
