About St Paul's Cathedral
St Paul's Cathedral is a vibrant church, a national treasure and a London icon. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the late 17th century, the Cathedral has been the Cathedral Church of the Diocese of London for over 1,400 years.
Our building provides a space for reflection, discovery, learning and debate. Each year, we welcome nearly two million people through our doors, to worship, sightsee, and attend a lively programme of concerts, educational events and performing arts.
Alongside dedicated clergy and staff, we are sustained by a community of volunteers, who ring our bells, lead our tours, maintain our collections and more. We provide comfort and commemoration through our national services, and stand as an enduring symbol of hope – for those of all faiths and none.
