About St Paul's Cathedral
St Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral of London, where the bishop of London has his seat. It stands on Ludgate Hill, the City of London's highest ground, and is the Diocese of London's mother church within the Church of England. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle goes back to a cathedral church founded in AD 604.
Sir Christopher Wren designed the present high-domed building in the English Baroque style, and it was completed in 1710. Its reconstruction belonged to a major rebuilding program begun after the Great Fire of London, which had largely destroyed the earlier Gothic cathedral, known as Old St Paul's. At 111 m (365 ft) high, it was London's tallest building from 1710 to 1963, and its dome remains among the highest anywhere. Only Liverpool Cathedral covers more area among church buildings in the United Kingdom.
The cathedral is a Grade I listed building and a church in daily use, with prayer every hour and services every day. Funerals held there include those of Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, the Duke of Wellington and Admiral Lord Nelson, and Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer held their wedding there. For more than 300 years its dome has stood out above the spires of Wren's churches in the City around it, dominating the skyline.
