Friends' Visit to Southwark Cathedral

Thirty Friends members visited Southwark Cathedral on Tuesday 25th July 2023 in glorious sunshine.

Two excellent Tour Guides gave us 90mins of their time, knowledge and wit to take us around this beautiful Cathedral by the Thames. So much history and so many changes over the generations and is still a vibrant place of worship.

We had lunch together in The Mudlark Inn right next door to the Cathedral where we enjoyed an excellent meal and some social chat and fun.

In the afternoon, with many things to explore in the area, we went our separate ways exploring the Golden Hinde, The Tate Modern, The Globe Theatre, a peep in the door of The Clink amongst other sites and of course a  wander along the river watching the pleasure and working boats sailing by.

To end our day we took a brief look at Borough Market as we snaked our way back to the pick-up point for the coach after an enjoyable day.
