My Name Is Mud commented to St Paul’s Cathedral:
How in the heck can going to a church rank as a Worst London Tourist Attraction? It’s a freaking church! What do you expect? Monte Python’s Flying Circus? It’s historic. Mary Poppins “Feed The Bird” lady was shot on St. Paul’s steps. Cheating Charles and Diana were married there. Ya da ya da ya da. It’s the 2nd largest domed church in the world - second to St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. If you decide to go to St. Paul’s, go around 5PM and you can sit up at the front for Evensong. Doesn’t last forever. You get a program to follow along and participate if you want. You sit in a circle and the sound of the organ and choir envelopes you. Afterwards go on out to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub (one of the oldest is not the oldest) on Fleet Street.
I could understand St. Paul’s Cathedral not being a big attraction, but making the 10 Words London Tourist Attractions is excessive. It’s a freaking church for crying out loud.
