St Paul’s Cathedral in London is Wren’s masterpiece of design; it took 35 years to build. Wren was Surveyor-general to six English monarchs. His most famous buildings are at the centre of national life and ceremonials – they include Royal palaces, the Royal Hospital, Chelsea and 52 churches built after the great fire of London in 1666.
