This British post stamp issued in 2008 by UniversalMail, from series devoted to London' touristic attractions, depicts one of the key ecclesiastic buildings of the Church of England and London' landmark - St. Paul's Cathedral.

St. Paul's Cathedral in London is the seat of the Bishop of London and a major London landmark. It is located on Ludgate Hill in the financial district known as the City of London. The present Cathedral, built between 1675-1711, is the 4th cathedral to occupy the site. The cathedral's immediate predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The cathedral was designed by court architect Sir Christopher Wren. Wren's original, grander plan met with considerable resistance from the conservative Dean and Chapter. The present building reflects a compromise, but still reflects the grandeur of Wren's design.

The stamp was issued by UniversalMail United Kingdom Ltd., not by Royal Mail.
