Entry to St Paul’s Cathedral
There has been a Cathedral dedicated to St Paul in London since 604 AD. The current structure was officially completed in 1710 rising from the ashes of the old Cathedral destroyed in the Great Fire of London.
Sir Christopher Wren made use of old stone but with new techniques and ideas to design and build the new cathedral. He was the first to be buried in its tombs!
The Wren 300 ticket gives you access to the Cathedral Floor, the Crypt, the Dome Galleries, their multimedia guides and any temporary exhibitions and installations including their exhibition Sir Christopher Wren: The Quest for Knowledge opening 27 April. The main dome is one of the biggest in the world at over 366 feet (110 metres) high!
ⓘ St Paul’s Cathedral can be visited Monday to Saturday 08:30am (10am on Wednesday) to 4:30pm. Last entry at 4pm.
Nearest pier: Blackfriars or Bankside
Entry to Old Royal Naval College
Old Royal Naval College, in the heart of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site, was originally constructed to serve as the Royal Hospital for Seamen.
Wren’s design of the hospital was a stroke of genius: to incorporate the existing King’s House into his own design, but also meet Mary II’s request for a river view from the Queen’s House, he created a symmetrical arrangement of courts, domes and colonnades which, together with a careful use of perspective, framed the Queen’s House without dwarfing it.
The Wren 300 ticket includes entry to the breath-taking Painted Hall, which took 19 years to paint. You can join the tours across the magnificent riverside estate which include the Chapel, which is one of the finest eighteenth-century interiors and access to one of the oldest remaining Victorian Skittle Alleys (12-3pm subject to availability.)
ⓘ The Painted Hall and Chapel can be visited daily 10am-5pm. Last entry at 4.30pm.
Site Tours leave the visitor centre daily on the hour from 11am - 3pm. The Painted Hall has a free audio guide available in 7 languages or talks run every 30 minutes from 11am – 4pm. Wren Tours will run on Thurs 12.30 and 2.30pm from 9 March – 28 Sept.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich is also a short walk away.

Through exciting musical events, conservation workshops and talks, schools’ programmes around the Great Fire of London and the rebuilding of the City of London, and newly commissioned research into the lives of the people of Wren’s era who rebuilt the City we invite you to join us in celebrating Wren and his inspirational legacy.
