Many of the Cathedral's treasures are kept here. Over the centuries much has been seized by the state or stolen in a major robbery in 1810. There are over 200 items of liturgical plate lent by churches in the London Diocese as well as the Jubilee Cope worn during the Queen's Jubilee celebrations in 1977.
The shop
St Paul's Cathedral shop is situated in the crypt. It has a wide range of merchandise including religious and theological books, children's books, CDs and tapes of the choir, greetings cards, postcards and gifts such as stationery, china and glass, T-shirts and sweat shirts, all inspired by Sir Christopher Wren's great architectural masterpiece.
The shop can be accessed (free of charge) through the North West Crypt Door, on the left hand side of the Cathedral as you face it. Opening times are Monday to Saturday 9.00 to 17.00 and Sunday 10.30 to 17.00.
