Southwark Cathedral

Montague Close, London, SE1 9DA
Tel: +44 (0)20 7367 6700

There has been a church on this site since the 7th century. Two more churches stood here before the present cathedral, which was originally a medieval church. It was built in 1220 and only became a cathedral in 1905.

Back in 1608, the founder of the famous Harvard University in the US, John Harvard, was baptised here and many famous Londoners of the past are buried here, including William Shakespeare's brother, Edmond. Among the many monuments in the Cathedral there is also one to Shakespeare himself who was a part owner of the nearby Globe Theatre.
