- A beautiful gem of a cathedral, small but perfectly formed and a real contrast to St Paul's. Make sure you visit Shakespeare's memorial, and take time to light a candle, pray and be still.Upvoted 14 hours ago
- Iris PezzaliSeptember 26, 2012Southwark Cathedral is a wonderful place, and well worth a visit, if you're round these parts... It's a place of great tranquillity and calm..
- Carl GriffinDecember 28, 2015The choir dates from the 13th century and the tower from 1520. The rest is largely Victorian. Pleasant quiet cathedral.
- Adrian MaddenDecember 29, 2011Two things to watch out for. Head priest has a ponytail, wouldn't any of that nonsense in a Catholic church. Short, back and sides please. Secondly, they have a cat wandering round the gaff.

- Aaron AtencioFebruary 4, 2012Probably some of the friendliest church greeters I've encountered. Great way to wind down and warm up after the market is with evensong at 16:00 on Saturdays.
