Is the largest and most impressive in Europe. Although burials no longer take place here, some 200 memorials can be seen. Much in the Crypt speaks of heroism and bravery, but overwhelmingly the tragedy of war is illustrated by the monuments contained within. O.B.E. Chapel

The Chapel of the Order of the British Empire honours those who have given distinguished service to their country at home or abroad. Also known as St

Faith's Chapel. Christopher Wren's Tomb

One of the simplest in the Cathedral. Wren himself wanted no memorial.

Nelson's Tomb

Nelson died at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. His body was preserved in a keg of naval brandy and placed within four coffins before burial in the crypt. Wellington's Tomb

Wellington's tomb is made of Cornish porphyritic granite supported with a block of Peterhead granite. The Treasury

Many of the Cathedral's treasures are kept here. Over the centuries much has been seized by the state or stolen in a major robbery in 1810. There are over 200 items of liturgical plate lent by churches in the London

Diocese as well as the Jubilee Cope worn during the Queen's Jubilee celebrations in 1977.

The shop

St Paul's Cathedral shop is situated in the crypt. It has a wide range of merchandise including religious and theological books, children's books,

CDs and tapes of the choir, greetings cards, postcards and gifts such as stationery, china and glass, T-shirts and sweat shirts, all inspired by Sir

Christopher Wren's great architectural masterpiece.

The shop can be accessed (free of charge) through the North West Crypt
