During Network Rail’s works on constructing the new viaduct across Borough High Street as part of the Thameslink works, access to the Cathedral by car will be restricted on a number of weekends and occasional weekdays with the periodic closures of Bedale Street and Stoney Street. One of these roads will always be open but please speak to the marshals on site if in any doubt on how to reach the Cathedral.
