Back in my early teens in London my mate and I used to get what were called Red Rover tickets that allowed you to travel all over the city by bus our favourite place to go was St Pauls Cathedral although we were definitely not there for religious purposes. At that time you could climb right to the top of the dome and look out of small windows just below the cross on the top. The access to this was was via steps from the whispering gallery but once past these it was 2 metal ladders, one to a platform and the second to the windows. This access was not highlighted and only people that had studied the cathedral knew of it so my mate and I used to wait until a small group of females usually in the 30-40 age group started to climb the steps and we would then follow them a short distance behind. When we got to the top of the steps we would wait until several of the women were climbing the ladder before we entered which meant they had no time to do anything and we had wonderful views up their skirts. We could spend a whole day there and not once were we caught and told to leave. Unfortunately the access was closed some years later due to health and safety, shame!!
