Wow. Thanks everyone! Alan, I don't think it's physically possible to get the whole building in one shot. It is enormous, and tightly surrounded by other buildings.
The whole area was utterly leveled during the Blitz, and St. Paul's was hit by bombs three times; but by extremely diligent fire brigade and bomb-disposal work the damage was limited. Amazing. After the war, lots of office buildings colonized the newly-vacant land around the cathedral. The best view I've ever had of St. Paul's was on Christmas day in 1981. My wife and I walked from our flat in Bloomsbury to St. Paul's for evensong. A couple of inches of fresh snow had fallen, and (it being Christmas) there was no traffic at all. We walked on untracked snow up the middle of High Holborn, with St. Paul's looming majestically in front of us. No camera, alas. I'll be very senile before I forget that afternoon.
