    The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie stands at the oldest crossing-point of the River Thames at what was for many centuries the only entrance to the City of London situated across the river. A verbal tradition passed on to the Elizabethan historian John Stow suggests that the first Christian establishment was a community of nuns in the 7th century, but the first written reference is the mention of a 'minster' in the Domesday Book of 1086.

      A place of Christian worship for over 1,100 years but only a cathedral since 1905 when the Diocese of Southwark was created.

      The present cathedral building was rebuilt in 1834 as a parish church in the Diocese of Rochester.

      The cathedral has pleasant quiet gardens around it with plenty of seating, a lovely ornate interior and a good cafe to the rear near the river.
