London, England travel: St. Paul's Cathedral

London, England travel. We visit St. Paul's Cathedral, one of the iconic figures of the London skyline. This is one of the largest churches in the world, although there's an issue as to whether the place is a 'church' or 'cathedral' or 'basicala' etc. In any case, this place is impressive! They're not too keen on filming, so less than ideal photography. More than a day trip from Thornbury Castle, and certainly worth the travel! (You can view this video, and other travel videos in full-size and near-DVD quality, travel stills and more at www.jpmeyer.com). Thornbury Castle is part of the von Essen Group of hotels, "a private collection of individual country house hotels in the UK, each with a distinctive style and character of its own" according to www.vonessenhotels.co.uk, but we think of it as Real People having Real Fun!

I missed going to St. Paul's on my visit :( now I'm hitting myself for it. However I did manage to sit on a 13th century bench and listen to an organ recital in Westminster Abbey, which was awesome.

The Churches and Cathedrals of Great Britain are so gorgeous, I wish our cathedrals/churches in Canada we modelled more on these masterpieces.

@teamcrumb i am afraid to say that wren is one of the greatest english baroque architects and pioneered the centrally planned layouts so dont talk utter bs.

Considering we were told "no photography" (Sept 2011), I particularly can appreciate this tourist video. Thanks for posting.

@gimwun why not taking a ryanair ticket to Rome and discover what is the meaning of art and architecture..:)

Always felt St Paul's to be one of Britain's more mediocre cathedrals. If you want to see a truly stunning British Cathedral go visit Durham Cathedral. Take a 3 hour train journey up north on the east coast main line and you'll see a truly beautiful cathedral. IMO one of the most stunningly inspiring buldings in the world. Durham Cathedral makes St Paul's look very ordinary indeed!

@wakeuptoday7 With respect that's a silly comment. It's renaissance in design as are many buildings across Europe. Do you expect every building to be completely different from any other? And to use the word 'mere' when describing St Paul's is ludicrous.

I loved this place when I visited back in 2001, It was like you could feel God, as soon as you walked inside.
