Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A look around St Paul's Cathedral (close up) in the City of London. A day after I took these, some Occupy protestors chained themselves up inside the cathedral during a service!

Looks like Occupy London is still going on. At least the area outside the cathedral was back to normal with tourists around.

Since we were in the area (for the Museum of London) and we used St Paul's Underground Station, it was well worth popping to have a look at it.

Grade I listed.
