A great place to start when you want to explore some of London’s absorbing history is St Paul’s Cathedral. Located in the City of London, the cathedral has the second-largest church dome in the world. The cathedral’s construction was completed in 1710 and the best way to explore its amazing architecture is to climb to the top of its tower. The view from the tower is spectacular, offering a great view of the expanse of London.
You will also not want to miss the whispering gallery which is the inside the cathedral’s dome. It is known as the whispering gallery because if you whisper close to the wall your words will be audible on the opposite side of the dome.
