St Paul's Cathedral : The Whispering Gallery

Climb 259 steps up the dome and you will find The Whispering Gallery, which runs around the interior of the Dome. It gets its name because of the acoustic effects; a whisper against its wall at any point is audible to a listener with an ear held to the wall at any other point around the gallery. We tried but it did not work. Perhaps it is not true.
