Southwark Cathedral has a captivating blend of history, modern allure, and unique connections all nestled within its thousand-year-old legacy. The Cathedral’s roots go back 1000 years. It was first a convent, then a monastery, then a parish church after The Reformation, and finally made one of England’s 42 Cathedrals in 1905. Today, this historic landmark offers unparalleled opportunities for events through Southwark Cathedral Venues
