No thankfully, During the war in an attempt to down the British moral the German, Luftwaffe targeted it during the Blitz of WW2. Many 1000s of incendiary bombs were dropped on the area destroying many surrounding buildings. Due to a mass effort though by the ARP (Air Raid Precautions) the AFF (Auxiliary Fire Service) a little help from God and the Vicar the Cathedral survived with minimal fire damage. The worst of witch being a support beam with in the dome.

One of the first buildings was destroyed by fire in 962AD, once again in 1087AD and again in 1136AD. In 1561 the tower was destroyed by lightning and not replaced. Later Old St Pauls was gutted by fire during the great fire of London in 1666. The present building survives as described above
