St. Paul's Cathedral stands on a small hill in the Western part of the city of London. It is not the first building of worship to occupy this site at this has been the site of Christian Worship for 1400 years.
The medieval cathedral with its tower and spire soaring over the city was at the time one of the wonders of Europe. However Sir Christopher Wren's St. Paul's Cathedral which was built after the fire of London in 1666 and completed in the early eighteenth century, has become one of the City's most familiar landmarks and one of the worlds most famous places of the Christian faith.
This is the most magnificent cathedral throughout our journey in the UK and I can't wait to one day travel through Europe to see some of the cathedrals in Rome.
I can write and write about this Cathedral but I am afraid I will never be able to end and to be honest no pen on paper or in my case "typing on a computer" could ever do this Cathedral justice. I am afraid the magnitude of what I personally experienced will forever be in my mind alone and for anyone who wishes to know you will have to visit this Cathedral by yourself as that is the only way this feeling of complete awe, love and gratitude can be shared.
What a magnificent end to a glorious whistle stop holiday through England & Scotland.
