My favourite part of the Cathedral is located 99 feet from the ground: the Whispering Gallery. Reached by 259 steps and indoor, the Whispering Gallery is fun for anyone of all ages. A scientific marvel, a whisper from one point of the gallery can be heard at any other point directly across from it.
"Ornately curved and brilliantly coloured decoration abounds, and in a symmetry that is nearly overwhelming. As a place of worship St. Paul's may not be to everyone's taste, but as an architectural work, St. Paul's is a masterpiece." -Briatin Express
"It only works if you whisper, not if you talk. Lots of people try speaking normally and are disappointed. Even then, you have to talk in a 'loud whisper'. The guys who work in the place (deacons?) often give demonstrations.
You have to put your mouth less than six inches from the wall, and the listener should have their ear within six inches of the wall. The best place to speak is in one of the doorways, because you can put your mouth right at the wall without actually touching it." -BBC
When entering the Gallery, and looking down and looking up, one gets to appreciate the decorations and the architecture of the Cathedral. Had I been on a religious tour, I would have absolutely been engrossed in the history and spirituality that would undoubtedly overtaken my soul to another level. However, I just sit and enjoy the murmurs of little kids as the glee of hearing their peers in the other side of the room makes them gleeful.
