6. St Paul’s Cathedral
This is one of the most famous cathedrals in the world. It was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The original cathedral was burned down during the Great Fire of London in 1666. The present cathedral was completed in 1677. It has been used for some of the most important funerals and weddings in the history of England. Princess Diana and Prince Charles were married here in 1981.
Recently it was famous for the anti-globalisation protests, which took place outside of the church. There is a £14.50 charge for admission to sightseers (£12.50 when purchased online). The nearest tube station is St Paul’s.
