Listed at 5 (up from 10) St. Paul's Cathedral (St. Paul's)

Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece St. Paul's, now part of the heart and Soul of London. One of the miracle stories of Word War Two. Targeted by the Luftwaffe who succeeded in destroying most of the surrounding buildings but not (obviously) St Pauls.

St Pauls' contains the story of the men and women who risked their lives to preserve this historic, beautiful building.

St. Paul's also contains a stained glass for every state of America, and a book that has every American soldier that came through London during WWII. Every day, an individual opens the case and turns the page with his gloved hand.

Whisper a sweet nothing at the whispering gallery soon after cathedral opens and enjoy the reaction of person at the other end of the gallery. Just remember where you are. You must do this before the crowds arrive or you might just end up talking to yourself.

Climb to the stone gallery and then to the top of the cathedral which is the golden gallery. At these two galleries you will be rewarded with amazing views of the London skyline and suburbs. Take lots of photos and wonder why you London Eyed.
