Great Tour Guide!

"Gavin’s tour of Westminster Abbey and the British Museum was wonderful. With his vast knowledge about both sites, he entertained and educated our group of 11 kids and adults with great anecdotes and expert insight. It was a delightful day and we look forward to taking another tour with Gavin the next time we’re in London."

Key Attractions of St Paul's Cathedral:

The Dome: The cathedral's dome, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, is the second-largest in the world, standing at 365 feet tall. It offers breathtaking views of London and is a defining feature of the city's skyline.
The American Memorial Chapel: Built in commemoration of the American soldiers stationed in the UK during the war, located behind the High Altar.
The Quire: This area is known for its beautiful woodwork and choir stalls. It is where the daily services are held and showcases stunning Gothic architecture.
The Whispering Gallery: Located inside the dome, this gallery allows whispers to travel around the curved dome, making it a unique and fascinating feature of the cathedral.
The Jubilee Trumpets: installed for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977 – and once caused such a surprise and made her jump during a service that Her Majesty told the Dean off afterwards. Fair enough, really.

Highlights of a guided tour of St Paul's Cathedral:

Hear stories of WWII and The Blitz and how the cathedral miraculously survived this dark period of London’s history.
Walk in the footsteps of royalty as you discover the church’s role in the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Diana; Jubilee celebrations of HM Queen Elizabeth II, as well as the funerals of Sir Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.

Skip-the-queue with me and go straight into the church, saving you valuable time.
If you wish you can climb the 528 steps to the top of the dome, for terrific views across London.

Why not combine this tour with a Food Tour or a tour of the City of London, established by the Romans in 43AD. Alternatively, we could walk over the Millennium Bridge for a tour of Tate Modern, the worlds most successful modern art gallery!
