The Dean of St Paul’s, the Very Revd Dr David Ison, has announced his intention to retire in September 2022.
Dr David Ison will be 68, and will have served at the Cathedral for ten years. The Dean leads the Cathedral assisted by the Residentiary and Lay Canons, enabling Chapter to implement the agreed vision for St Paul's. Recruitment for the next Dean of St Paul’s will begin later this year.

Earlier this year St Paul’s Cathedral completed Phase 1 of the Equal Access project, the first major phase of a permanent accessible entrance to the Cathedral. The project is the most significant change to Christopher Wren’s exterior design in 300 years, taking 20 years from design to completion. 
We hope the entrance will open to the public in spring 2022. 

On 17 February 2022, St Paul's unveiled the bold new artwork Still Standing by Nigerian-born artist, Victor Ehikhamenor, on display in the Crypt from 17th February to 14th May 2022 and included with sightseeing admission.
