St Paul's Cathedral, completed in 1710 by the
architect Sir Christopher Wren, boasts a huge dome
that can be seen all over London. In the church dome
competition, Londoners only concede that St Peter's at
the Vatican is larger. St Paul's can battle with
Westminster Abbey for royal events. Princess Diana
and Prince Charles were married here in 1981.
