About St Paul's

This Grade I listed building, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the English Baroque style, was completed in 1710 and serves as the mother church of the Diocese of London. It stands at Ludgate Hill, the highest point in the City of London, and its current structure emerged from the extensive rebuilding efforts following the Great Fire of London, which destroyed the original Gothic cathedral founded in AD 604.
