Designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the late 17th Century, St Paul’s Cathedral is a vibrant church, a national treasure and a London icon. For over 1,400 years, people have gathered here to worship, to reflect, to listen and to pray. Our vision is simple. To inspire faith, welcome everyone, and be a cathedral for London and the world. From a world-renowned Cathedral, every day we set out to welcome and inspire. We show excellence in liturgy, heritage crafts, conservation, music, a host of human endeavours. Rooted in the Christian faith, we’re shaping a sustainable home for learning, celebration, reflection and worship. Our Cathedral community includes regular worshippers, nearly 220 staff and many generous volunteers who welcome visitors, lead tours, ring our bells, maintain our collections and more. We provide comfort and commemoration through our national services and stand as an enduring symbol of hope – for those of all faiths and none.
