southwarkcathedral.org.uk Southwark Cathedral has been a place of Christian worship for over 1000 years. The Cathedral’s patchwork architecture bears testament to its past as do the many monuments and memorials inside and outside the church. These are re- minders of the rich history of this part of London and our association with such major figures in our creative history, including Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens.

Southwark Cathedral is a place of worship, wel- come and friendship, to rejoice in or find rest when you’re weary. We are London’s community Cathedral, a spiritual home for all at the heart of Bankside. Whatever has brought you here, you are most welcome.

All events are free of charge unless stated other- wise. Tickets for Cathedral events are available from our website or the Cathedral Shop.
