When the pass pays off here
For this sight alone, no pass pays off: entry costs £27, a one-day London Pass £105.00.
It is a different story if you add Tower of London, The View from The Shard and Thames river cruise on the same day. Then the admissions add up to £121. The London Pass for one day costs £105.00 and saves you £16.
The Tower of London is about 25 minutes away on foot, much of it along the Thames. That way both fit into one day.

Tips for your visit
You can visit St Paul’s Monday to Saturday; last entry is usually at 4pm. On Sundays there are only services. Visits can also be restricted on weekdays because of special events.
The nearest Tube station is St Paul’s on the Central line, right next to the cathedral.
The dome takes some stamina: there are several hundred steps up to the highest gallery. Children may only go up with an adult. Allow about two hours including the galleries.
