It was 4.00pm by the time we reached St Paul's Cathedral, and as the light failed, we pondered over whether or not to spend the £9.50 each on an entry ticket. Deciding on warmth over wealth, I proffered my credit card only to find that we could now enter for £5.00 each, but not go up the tower. We were all in complete awe of the interior, especially the ceilings, all painted with twinkly gold paint (is it mosaic?) and trompe l'oeil. Most interesting was the crypt where numerous famous people are buried including Sir Christopher Wren, Millais, Alma Tadema, JMW Turner, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Arthur Sullivan and Florence Nightingale.
On leaving, I turned back to see this picture. Unfortunately, not my crispest shot, must have been something to do with the cold...
