Do not miss a visit to St Paul's Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral could not be more beautiful if it tried! Unbelievably it was so much less crowded than my Westminster Abbey visit the day before. This made for a much more enjoyable experience. I really enjoyed the information provided in the free headset tours. No trip to London should be without a visit to the Cathedral.

Beautiful!

We were with our 14 year old granddaughter. She wanted to climb to the top, but couldn't because kids can't go up without an adult and we weren't able? A bit disappointing for her.
