Open House London: Exploring The Old Deanery – City of London

Sep 15, 2021 By Laura Porter Leave a Comment

The Old Deanery is a Grade I seventeenth-century mansion house close to the West Front of St Paul’s Cathedral. Set back with its own courtyard, it is among a small handful of surviving secular buildings erected in the aftermath of the Great Fire of 1666. It is the office of the Bishop of London and recently underwent restoration. It's not somewhere we could usually see inside, … [Read more...] about Open House London: Exploring The Old Deanery – City of London

London Alert: St Paul’s Cathedral Has Lifted Its Ban on Photography (with come caveats)!

Jun 3, 2019 By Jonathan

Great news for photographers and visitors to St Paul's Cathedral in London. They have ended their ban on photography within the cathedral. This is wonderful news. Many people flouted the ban anyway (and if you did, you would get a telling off, as I did 15 years ago). Now, the Cathedral has decided to let everyone take pictures of this truly wonderful architectural jewel. They … [Read more...] about London Alert: St Paul’s Cathedral Has Lifted Its Ban on Photography (with come caveats)!

Great London Buildings: A Brief History of St. Paul’s Cathedral – Risen from Fire

Sep 16, 2015 By John Rabon

The towering church that sits on top of Ludgate Hill in the City of London is not the first place of worship to be located there. It’s actually the fifth. The first church located here was a wooden building built by King Ethelbert and consecrated by Mellitus, the Bishop of the East Saxons, in 604 A.D. Less than a century later, it burnt down in 675 under unknown circumstances, … [Read more...] about Great London Buildings: A Brief History of St. Paul’s Cathedral – Risen from Fire

Guest Long Read: Cathedrals of London – Exploring St Paul’s and Westminster Abbey – Which is Your Favorite?

Sep 26, 2014 By Guest Writer

Back in the month of July, I chose ten English cathedrals and wrote about them for Anglotopia. What a difficult task: having to choose just ten, among so many beautiful buildings. As a matter of fact, I’m sure that many of the readers would make different choices and I’d have to agree with all of them, because English architecture is so rich that you could write endlessly about … [Read more...] about Guest Long Read: Cathedrals of London – Exploring St Paul’s and Westminster Abbey – Which is Your Favorite?
