WITH ITS FAMOUS GREAT DOME, SIR CHRISTOPHER WREN’S BAROQUE MASTERPIECE, ST PAUL’S CATHEDRAL, HAS REINVENTED ITSELF TIME AFTER TIME AND NOW STANDS AS A TRUE ICON OF THE LONDON SKYLINE […] This spectacular building is the fifth, or possibly the sixth cathedral to stand on this site, but its mighty dome has been a reassuring presence for Londoners for more than 300 years. During the Second World War Winston Churchill commanded that, whatever else happened, St Paul’s must be saved from the bombs. Yet this cathedral would not be here had it not been for another of the most terrifying episodes in London’s history. It is currently celebrating the 300th anniversary of its completion in 1710 but the building’s history really began on the night of 2 September, 1666, when a fire in a baker’s shop on Pudding Lane, a few hundred yards to the south-east, got out of control and started to spread through the wooden houses that lined and leaned across the narrow city streets. […] Sir Christopher Wren was 33 years old in September 1666 and already Professor of Astronomy at Oxford University. He submitted a plan for a whole new London, based on broad avenues and piazzas, within ten days of the fire. The city’s traders and householders, returning to rebuild their homes and businesses, would never have allowed that but Wren was to leave his mark on London in the rebuilding of 51 churches damaged or destroyed in the fire – and at St Paul’s. […]The cathedral did rise again. It took 35 years, from 1675 to 1710. The symmetry and mathematical precision of the building and the pale white Portland stone from which it was constructed were in complete contrast to the beautiful but often improvised and irregular features of the medieval cathedrals. […] He lived to see the cathedral completed and became the first person to be interred here after his death in 1723, at the age of 91. […] From [the top of the building] you will have sensational views and even more respect both for the people who built it and for the fire wardens who doused fires that could have destroyed it every night during the Blitz. Churchill and Londoners got their wish and the cathedral, like Britain itself, survived. Everyone who visits it today will hope it can last forever.
