## St Paul’s Cathedral dome viewpoint

Don’t admire St Paul’s Cathedral from the outside – step in and make your way to the dome. You’ll be able to enjoy some of the best views in London!

Address: St. Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AD, UK

After climbing hundreds of stairs to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral I've developed a fear of heights & aversion to all things stairs-related. Worth it for the prime view tho ??
