Is St Paul's Cathedral worth it on a budget?

DependsOn a budget

On a budget, weigh it — St Paul's Cathedral isn't cheap for what it is.

£26

The dome is the draw: 528 steps up past the Whispering Gallery to the Golden Gallery and a genuinely great panorama. Inside is grand and calm. The climb is a real effort and the ticket isn't cheap; free if you just attend a service.
