St Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral on Ludgate Hill, in the City of London, and the seat of the Bishop of London. The present building dates from the 17th century and is generally reckoned to be London's fifth St Paul's Cathedral, not counting every major medieval reconstruction as a new cathedral. The cathedral sits on the highest point of the City of London, which originated as the Roman trading post of Londinium situated on the River Thames. The cathedral is one of London's most visited sights.

To get to St Pauls you walk on the County Hall side of the river turning right as you look at the river. You will come to the bridge in the picture called the Millennium Bridge and if you cross that  bridge you can't really miss St Pauls in front of you.

The amazing thing t o me about St Pauls is that it replaced a huge Cathedral that was the thrid largest Church in Europe at the time with a spire of 149 metres high. In 1561 the spire was destroyed by lightning and it was not replaced, the church had been decaying and due tothe dissolution of monasteries act bits had even been carted off for use aas building materials, so the people took this 'act of god' as a sign of gods displeasure and things had to eventually change, and change they did.
