The fifth cathedral on the site, and the one Wren spent thirty-five years building after the Great Fire; it was finished in 1711. The dome is really three domes. There is an inner one, shallow enough to look right from the floor; a brick cone hidden inside it, which carries the weight of the stone lantern on top; and the outer one in lead, the shape that shows above the rooftops from half of London and that planning law protects by keeping certain views of it clear. The Whispering Gallery runs round the inside of it, and the crypt holds Nelson, Wellington and Wren himself, under an inscription that tells the reader to look around for his monument.
