Tours, architecture and history of the Cathedral
Southwark Cathedral is situated on the south bank of the River Thames close to London Bridge. It is surrounded by railway lines and buildings, including the historic Borough Market. The churchyard on the south side of the Cathedral is an oasis of calm and is a favourite lunch-time resting place for local office workers.
The Cathedral is open daily from 8.00am to 6.00pm.
