Can't afford the entrance fee to St. Paul's? No problem! Head over to Vauxhall Bridge, where you will find a teeny tiny replica of the famous cathedral hidden in an alcove. The bronze sculpture is being held up by one of the eight female statues placed along the side of the bridge, each designed to symbolise aspects of the arts and sciences.

The bite-size house of worship was created to represent the discipline of architecture; the other themes include agriculture, engineering, pottery, fine art, sciences, education and, er, local government. You'll need to peer over the side of the bridge to see the sculpture - or head underneath it on a boat - but it'll be worth it for the potential to impress or bamboozle other tourists when they ask you if you have visited St Paul's and you reply with an authoritative "which one?"
