ETicket worked great. St Paul’s Cathedral was a great experience. The steps to the dome were well worth it. There are 2 stop levels to enjoy and catch your breath before reaching the top. Great experience!

St. Paul's Cathedral
A cathedral has stood on this site since the year 604 and the current Cathedral is now the fourth to have been built here after the 1666 Great Fire of London destroyed its predecessor. St Paul's is England's place of national celebration and has hosted Royal Weddings such as that of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981 and Diamond Jubilee celebrations for both Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. St Paul's Cathedral is famous for its iconic Dome which you can climb up to three circular viewing points. With so much to discover about the history, architecture and role of a national Cathedral you'll appreciate the excellent multimedia guides included with your admission. Available in nine languages in adult and engaging family formats. Or register on arrival to join guided tours and welcome talks led by Cathedral guides.

St Paul's Cathedral visit and tour
St Paul's was a highlight for us. A tip for anyone interested in a real tour. Bypass the headsets and ask one of the amazing volunteers when their next free tour is. Bridgitte was a wealth of knowledge and a brilliant host. She made the experience twice as wonderful with her incredible insights.

Enjoyed it
Myself and my friend went in June on the Go City Pass. We enjoyed it. The stairs were steep but we got right to the top where it was rather windy but the views were lovely. We were there for a couple of hours. There were plenty of staff about if you needed anything. We went to the crypt as well which was interesting. We did stop for a snack and a drink in the cafe which was nice too

A wonderful place. We...
A wonderful place. We attended Evensong on Sunday afternoon and did a self-guided tour. I highly recommend both a worship experience and tour, including the climb to the top!

Exceeded my expectations!
Due to Universal credit this is no doubt the best £1 I have ever spent! Went while on a trip to London with my mum. Spent about an hour and a half and walked all the way to the top (528 steps) where there is an amazing view of London.
