Towering over Ludgate Hill, in a superb position that has been place of Christian worship for over 1400 years, St Paul’s Cathedral is one of London’s most majestic and iconic building. For Londoners, the vast dome, which still manages to dominate the skyline, is a symbol of resilience and pride, standing tall for over 300 years. The dome, The world second-largest, is famed for sidestepping Luftwaffe incendiary bombs in the’Second Great Fire of London’ of December 1940, becoming an icon of London resilience. Some 30 meters above the main paved area, is the first of three domes supported by eight huge columns. The walkway around its base,257 step up a staircase on the western side of the southern transept, is called the Whispering Gallery, because if you talk close to the wall, your words will carry to the opposite side,32 meters away. A further 119 steps brings you to the Stone Gallery, and 152 iron steps above the Stone Gallery is the Golden Gallery at the very top, rewarded with unforgettable views of London. All of these distinctive features attracted more than a million people to visit St Paul’s Cathedral in 2014
