| St Paul's has been a spiritual focus for the nation since its first service in 1697 and many important events have taken place within its walls, from the state funerals of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Winston Churchill to the wedding of the Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer and the Thanksgiving for Her Majesty The Queen's Golden Jubilee.

With its historic £40 million restoration programme now nearing completion, there has never been a better time to visit St Paul's. For the first time in its 300-year history, the Cathedral has been comprehensively cleaned and repaired inside and out and the results are breathtaking.
The West Front, once blackened and damaged, now rises majestically at the top of Ludgate Hill and details previously hidden stand out crisp and proud. The interior has been transformed by state of the art restoration techniques and the light that now floods the space highlights the luminescent Portland stone and brings mosaics, carvings and sculpture to life. In the Dome, exquisite 18th century paintings by Sir James Thornhill showing scenes from the life of St Paul have been returned to their original beauty.
As well as noting the startling changes in the interior of the Cathedral and admiring the contemporary paintings by Russian artist Sergei Chepik on the Cathedral floor and arresting wrought-iron and bronze memorial gates for Sir Winston Churchill in the Crypt, visitors can compare the restored West Front and East End of the Cathedral with the still to be completed South and North facades - a fascinating way to appreciate the hard work and expertise that have gone into removing centuries of soot and grime. |
