St Paul s Cathedral may have to close permanently if more regular funding is not found, bosses have warned.
The world-famous London landmark relies almost entirely on tourist income from ticket sales and has seen its finances devastated by the pandemic.
The building s income dropped by 90% in 2020 as it remained shut. There has been a similar fall so far this year.
Dean of St Paul s, the Very Rev Dr David Ison, said big decisions were needed for the historic building.
