A new chapter for Southwark Cathedral’s Choir
Southwark Cathedral Choir welcomes new choristers and scholars, celebrates new leadership roles and marks Lay Clerk Henry Kimber’s tenth anniversary.
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 vision is ‘Making Space for Love: with heart, mind, and soul’. We express this through reverential worship, a generous hospitality and celebration of the dignity of all people, a commitment to social justice, and a programme of learning events to deepen both knowledge and faith.
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. Come and join us.

At the beginning of September, a group from Southwark Cathedral travelled to the island of Iona for Astonished by Love, a retreat led by the Dean, Mark Oakley. Guided by poetry, worship and the island’s natural beauty, the group explored the love of God, creation, justice and one another. Claire Pidancet and Fiona Andrews reflect on their journey and the moments that encouraged them to live and love more intentionally.
