Evensong - St. Paul's

Do they clear all the tourists out of St. Paul's Cathedral prior to Evensong like they apparently do for Westminster? We want to tour and follow that up with attending Evensong. (We were going to do it at Westminster but have decided not to exit at 4 and wait in line for an hour to re-enter. Apparently, that's what they do, right?) Thank you !

Tourists wander in and out during Evensong at St Paul's. If you are interested in attending Evensong, you will be directed to sit up front. It is divided, somewhat, with spacing of chairs and with Cathedral staff handing out programs for those that want to be there for the service. Tourists sit on chairs in rear and are able to come and go as they choose, respectfully, of course. Sit up front so you aren't distracted by those that do not want to attend the entire service.
