The 5 best rooftop bars near St. Paul’s


From the funeral of Winston Churchill to the marriage of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer, St. Paul’s Cathedral has been present for many significant cultural and religious events in London over the years.


The expansive and beautiful St. Paul’s Cathedral sits at the highest point of the City of London. This architectural landmark serves as a religious site and a tourist destination due to its beauty and history. The beautiful mixture of Renaissance and English Baroque architecture makes this spot a great place to take photos, especially on a clear day or as the sun goes down and the sky fills with vibrant orange and pink colours.


For some of the best views of this historic landmark, head to a nearby rooftop bar where you can admire the view of London and St. Paul's, from the comfort of your seat with a drink in hand.
