London🇬🇧History Fix: Uncovering Hidden Gems at St. Paul's Triforium 🔎

Taking a guided tour of the Triforium during an Open House event at St. Paul’s Cathedral is a thrilling journey to the parts of the building that most visitors never get to see. It’s an exclusive look at the cathedral's heart, high above the main floor.

The Great Model
The tour begins with a remarkable item: Christopher Wren’s 'Great Model' from 1673. Seeing this immense, detailed wooden model gives you a true appreciation for the original vision for the cathedral, a testament to Wren's genius before the final design was even complete. It’s a fascinating piece of history.

The Conserved Library
Next, we were led into the recently conserved Library. The room feels incredibly peaceful and filled with centuries of knowledge. The smell of old books and polished wood makes it a truly special place, a quiet sanctuary high above the bustling city below.

The Geometrical Staircase 🪜
This staircase is a work of art in itself. With no central support, the spiral seems to float as you ascend, a perfect example of Wren's innovative and elegant design. Climbing it feels like a privilege, a beautiful architectural secret.

West Gallery Views
The tour culminates in a stunning view from the West Gallery. You stand high above the cathedral floor, looking out over the magnificent nave and towards the dome. The perspective is breathtaking and offers a unique and unforgettable view of the cathedral's grand interior.

For anyone who loves history, architecture, or simply wants to see a London landmark from a completely new angle, a tour of the Triforium is an unmissable experience. It's an unforgettable journey into the hidden layers of St. Paul's.
