St Paul's Cathedral

Forget the London Eye. Make the climb up 500 plus steps for a wonderful view of the area. Exercise plus history = FTW. Unfortunately no photography in this amazing Cathedral .

Beautiful place. I did the self guided tour with the headset. If you're physically up for it, I recommend climbing the 528 steps to the top of the dome. Not easy, but well worth the views .

From the Guardian: Geometrical staircase and Library . It swirls in two great revolutions up to the Cathedral Library , which is a veritable time capsule, untouched since its completion 300 years ago.
