Step inside the famous cathedral to see mementos and monuments linked to Brits such as Winston Churchill and the Duke of Wellington.

The cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognisable sights of London. Its dome, framed by the spires of Wren's City churches, has dominated the skyline for over 300 years.[3][page needed] At 365 feet (111 m) high, it was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1967.
