Welcome from our Dean

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.

The Very Rev’d Dr Mark Oakley
Dean
