Southwark Cathedral is an Anglican Cathedral on the south bank of the River Thames, set in the heart of the exciting and colourful Bankside community. Our Christian faith is expressed through our worship, hospitality, and a strong commitment to social justice.
We hope that you will find information here about our life and work that will make you want to come along to visit us. If you do so, you will be assured of a very warm welcome in this beautiful oasis of peace and prayer.
We hope to see you soon.
