Closure of Southwark Cathedral during the current Covid-19 restrictions
A message from the Dean
Southwark Cathedral is an Anglican Cathedral on the south bank of the River Thames, set in the heart of the changing and thriving Bankside community.

Child and Adult Safeguarding
Southwark Cathedral takes the safeguarding and care of children and vulnerable adults very seriously. Further information about how we promote a safer church can be found at our Safeguarding page here
During the lockdown the Cathedral was awarded the Visit England 'We're good to go' Industry Standard. This is the official mark to signal that a tourism and hospitality business has worked hard to follow Government and industry COVID-19 guidelines and has a process in place to maintain cleanliness and aid social distancing.
A message from the Dean
The clergy at the Cathedral have thought long and hard about how to manage the difficult situation that we face as we are allowed to offer public worship whilst not encouraging people to leave their homes and take unnecessary risks with their health
As we enter a New Year you might like to join us praying this prayer written by the Dean, the Very Revd Andrew Nunn, for use in all the English cathedrals
