Why Go
Built after the Great Fire of 1666 and finished in 1710, Wren's masterpiece survived the Blitz to become a symbol of London. Nelson and Wellington are buried in the crypt, and Wren lies there too.
Steps lead up to the Whispering Gallery inside the dome and on to the outdoor Golden Gallery at the top, 528 steps up.
