Het oordeel

Winnaar: St Paul's Cathedral

Als je slechts tijd hebt voor één, kies St Paul's Cathedral. Yes: for £24 you get the cathedral, the crypt and a dome climb with one of the finest views in London. Arrive at 8:30am opening, climb first, and remember it's closed to sightseeing on Sundays. Westminster Abbey is nog steeds worth it, rangschik het alleen lager.
