I finally made it into St Paul's Cathedral and without having to wait in a single line. Of course, that Meant I had to bring along thirty nine year olds but it was, eventually worth it.
I'm not sure how the UK school bodies still allow gaggles of children to roam the streets with minimal adult supervision but there you go. We had to catch two buses, a tube and then walk for ten minutes but we made it in the end. The volunteer guides in the cathedral were kind, engaging and spoke very well to the children. They even took them into a special, corded off section of the cathedral and got them to lie down and look at the tiled murals on the ceiling. It was excellent! We climbed up to the balcony section and looked down, some kids loved it, others stayed on the seats and everyone was generally happy. I had to do a pre-trip in January and so have added a few pics from the top, outside walkway of St Paul's. I fyou squint, you can see the London Eye in the foggy distance. If you can manage to avoid the line to get in, I would recommend it. Some unscrupulous few even go to the public services to avoid lines and paying for entry. Life choices, I guess.
