St Paul’s Cathedral photo gallery

Robert Harding

On this date in 1697 St Paul’s Cathedral, built by Sir Christopher Wren, was opened. Although it was the first cathedral to be built after the reformation (when Henry VIII took control of the Church of England) there had been a cathedral dedicated to St Paul at this same spot for over one thousand years. We chose our favourite pictures of this iconic building from the picture archive.

The cathedral is a landmark that can be seen from all over London. Some say it was divine intervention that saved it from being bombed during WWII, while others say it was useful for the navigation of the Luftwaffe pilots (Adina Tovy/Robert Harding)
