London visit



I went to ST.Paul's Cathedral last week with my sister and her colleagues from London Stock Exchange; it is located in the heart of the city centre and easily accessible by public transport. The nearest underground station is ST.Paul's on the central line.

Cathedral has always played more than one role in the communities its serve. Its main purpose is to bring people closer to the God as well as an attractive destination for the tourism.

Throughout the history a huge expansion has been made from 314 AD to 2008, under many names have given their lives up in order to maintain the power for ST.Paul’s cathedral.

It contains seven main levels, they’re from the bottom to top: The crypt, cathedral floor, whispering gallery which is 99 feet, stone gallery which is 173 feet, then the dome which is the most important part, after that the golden gallery which is 280 feet and finally the bells which is 355.5 feet.

Actually it was a very nice experience for me and i highly recommend everyone to go there.
