John P Shneider commented to St Paul’s Cathedral:
St Pauls was designed and built by Sir Christopher Wren and is part of the architectural history of England and not just ‘another catherdral’ nor is it a catholic cathedral so they do not have ‘mass’. Whilst it’s a shame we now have to pay to see inside if we’re not atending a service there, you shouldn’t just do this if you don’t actually want to take part in the worship as it’s not good for others when you noisily get out of your seat half way through and go off. Sometimes there will be one service where you sit in the main part of the cathedral followed by another where people are invited to sit up in the quire. So be careful, as if you sit there long enough obvioulsy you will end up sitting through more than one service! So, if you’re just sightseeing, simply cough up the money as it’s expensive to keep this old building up and running. There’s a great organ there if you like the sound of them and there’s a good tea shop in the crypt! (downstairs) Enjoy!
