St Paul's Cathedral Entrance Ticket with Traditional Afternoon Tea

Complete your visit of St Paul’s Cathedral in typical English fashion – with afternoon tea! Explore the cathedral, one of the most recognizable buildings in London and a masterpiece of architecture by Sir Christopher Wren, with an audio-guided tour to hear about the church’s fascinating history and how it survived the ravages of the World War Two. Then head to the Restaurant at St Paul’s, inside the cathedral, to take part in that most British of traditions – a proper afternoon tea of light sandwiches, scones, cakes and loose-leaf tea.

Consecrated in 1708 and designed by Sir Christopher Wren, St Paul's Cathedral is one of the most important and beloved buildings in England. With your entrance ticket, head inside and pick up your audio/video guide, available in nine languages (see below for a list). You’ll tour the cathedral on your own, listening to the audio commentary and using your touch screen for historical tidbits and information about the significance of the cathedral throughout English history.

As you walk around, admire the cathedral’s soaring dome, its glittering mosaics, the intricate stone carving and the breathtaking view down the central nave toward the quire aisle.

Start in the crypt to see its memorials and monuments, including the tombs of Lord Nelson and the Duke of Wellington. Then see the so-called Whispering Gallery - a platform giving you a perfect view of the cathedral from the first level of the dome - the outdoor Stone Gallery and eventually the Golden Gallery around the highest point of the Dome serving as a balcony with panoramic views of the capital.

Keep an eye on your watch and head to the Restaurant at St Paul’s for your traditional afternoon tea, which starts at 3pm. Along with a selection of loose-leaf teas or coffee, enjoy finger sandwiches (Chalk Farm smoked salmon, free-range egg and cress, cucumber and cream cheese) and sweet treats (freshly baked scones with England preserves and Cornish clotted cream). It’s the perfect ending to a visit of one of England’s most iconic attractions.
