Why not: Drop into St Paul's for Evensong?

Drop into St Paul's for Evensong? You can combine the pleasures of Christopher Wren's masterpiece with Britain's largest choir. The beauty of Cranmer's and Coverdale's 16th century prayers and the glorious music make for a heady experience. The service starts at 5pm weekdays (3.15pm Sundays), but get there early if you want to sit in Grinling Gibbons' carved oak and limewood choir stalls. The choir has over 50 members, of whom 38 are boys.

On Mondays, the men sing on their own and on Wednesdays it is the boys' turn.
