Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Strict bag size limits of 45cm x 30cm x 25cm apply; there are no cloakroom or luggage storage facilities on-site for larger items, backpacks, or suitcases.
  • Sightseeing is restricted on Sundays; while the cathedral floor is reserved for worship, special 'Dome Sunday' tickets are required for gallery access during the 2026 summer season.
  • Access to the Stone and Golden Galleries requires a strenuous climb of up to 528 steps; there is no elevator access to these upper levels, and they may close during high winds.
  • All visitors, including those with 'skip-the-line' or priority tickets, must undergo mandatory security screening, which can cause significant delays during peak morning periods.
  • The cathedral is a working church and closes early for special services; in June 2026, last entry is restricted to 11:30 AM on the 20th and 27th, and 11:45 AM on the 18th.
  • Personal photography is allowed in designated areas, but video recording, filming, and the use of tripods or selfie sticks are strictly prohibited throughout the interior.
  • Official sightseeing tickets are generally non-refundable; while date amendments may be possible up to 24 hours in advance, they often incur an additional amendment fee.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    The primary visitor entrance is located at the West Front (main steps); pre-booked ticket holders skip the ticket office queue but must still join the mandatory security line. For step-free access, use the dedicated entrance at the North Transept. Note that 'skip-the-line' or 'priority' labels on reseller tickets only bypass the box office—security checks are required for all and can take 15–30 minutes during peak hours. Large bags exceeding 45cm x 30cm x 25cm are strictly prohibited and there are no onsite lockers, so ensure your luggage is stored elsewhere before arrival.

  • Price

    The supplied rows currently show an official-site entry ticket at £24 GBP, a GetYourGuide St Paul's entry ticket at £24 GBP, and Tiqets entry tickets at €28.03. Guided tours and combination products have separate prices and should be compared by exact title, inclusions, selected date and final checkout total. Seller fees, cancellation terms and availability should be checked at checkout where the row instructs you to do so.

  • Discounts

    The supplied feed lists paid entry products only. Eligibility for free or reduced entry, worship access, annual-pass conversion and any age- or proof-based concessions is not stated in the supplied offer rows, so confirm those rules with the official venue before relying on them. For partner bookings, verify the selected date, ticket type and checkout conditions on the seller page.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my ticket or can I use my phone?

Digital tickets on smartphones are fully accepted at the entrance; simply present the barcode for scanning. Booking a timed slot online is strongly advised as walk-up tickets are more expensive and often sell out during peak morning hours.

What is the bag policy and is there a cloakroom?

There is no cloakroom or luggage storage on-site. Bags larger than 45cm x 30cm x 25cm are strictly prohibited, and all smaller bags must pass through a security screening which can create a queue even for priority ticket holders.

Who is eligible for free or reduced-price entry?

Children under 6 and visitors with disabilities (plus one essential carer) enter free of charge. Reduced rates are available for students with valid ID and seniors aged 65+, but these should be booked in advance to secure the discount.

Are the Whispering Gallery and the Dome always open?

The Stone and Golden Galleries are typically open for sightseeing, but the Whispering Gallery may be closed for safety or maintenance. Access to the upper levels involves a strenuous climb of up to 528 steps, which is not accessible for those with mobility issues.

Can I visit for sightseeing on a Sunday?

No, the Cathedral is closed for sightseeing on Sundays to accommodate regular worship and special services. While you can attend a service for free, this does not allow for exploring the crypt or climbing the dome galleries.

What happens if I arrive late for my booked time slot?

Staff will attempt to accommodate late arrivals in the next available slot, but entry is not guaranteed if the venue is at capacity. Most tickets purchased through partners like Tiqets or GetYourGuide have strict arrival windows, so arriving 15 minutes early for security is recommended.
