We had a wonderful guide who explained so well about the architectural features and symbols throughout the cathedral.  She also engaged our 9 year old grandson who enjoyed the visit as much as we did. We loved the words in Latin at the centre of the cathedral placed by Wren's son with the meaning "if you want an epitaph to Sir Christopher Wren, simply look around you!" It was lovely to pause on the hour to reflect that St Paul's is a place of worship and to say The Lord's Prayer together in our mother tongues.

London eye was brilliant 👏 Granddaughter was so excited 
Aquarium bit disappointing as no penguins 
But still a magical day

La seguridad de que teníamos entrada para el día elegido. No sabía que había que llevarlas impresas, tuvimos que mandar un email para que nos las imprimieran allí.
