Whispering gallery at St Pauls Cathedral
Children trying out the Whispering Gallery at St Paul’s Cathedral. The Gallery is the first of three in the Great Dome of the Cathedral and is so named because a person who whispers facing the wall on one side of the gallery can be heard perfectly on the other because the sound is carried around the curve of the Dome.
