Tour
to St.Paul's Cathedral in London from Cambridge

The Cathedral,
dedicated to St Paul, has overlooked the City of London since
604AD. The current Cathedral – the fourth to occupy this
site – was designed by the architect Sir Christopher
Wren and built between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor
was destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1665. Its architectural
and artistic importance reflect the determination of the five
monarchs who oversaw its building that London’s leading
church should be as beautiful and imposing as their private
palaces.

| As
the Cathedral of the capital city, St Paul’s is the spiritual
focus for the Nation. This is where people and events of overwhelming
importance to the country have been celebrated, mourned and
commemorated since the first Service took place in 1697.
