Central Hall Westminster

On their website I can't find any information if the steps up to the dome are open to the public daily. If anyone has done this or who has information I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I don’t think it’s open to the public as a tourist attraction - it’s used for conferences and private events.

I may be wrong but I have never heard of the dome as a visitor attraction. The cafe in the basement is open to the public (useful place for a quick lunch) but other than that I’ve only ever visited while attending a conference.

Thanks for your quick reply. I was kind of thinking that maybe the case. I heard about it somewhere on the web and can't find it back. When I google it I only get references to the conference rooms, etc. But the pictures I have seen have a great view, so was hoping that was possible.

Westminster Central Hall is both an events venue and still a working Church in different parts of the building. I too don't believe they are open normally to the public- unless attending an event or a Church service. But it is worth while asking- using their Contact form.

Thanks again for the the idea of going to Westminster Cathedral and the link for the Hall. Will see what I can find out, but it's looking like not a tourist thing. I have been trying to get tickets to Sky Garden but the dates we will be in London have not come up yet as far as I can tell. I thought they came available 3 weeks prior, but website says no dates available at this time. I'll keep checking.

Thanks Claudia, I do plan on going there. Central Hall has a different view that i was hoping was available.
