St George's Cathedral, Southwark, Catholic cathedral in Southwark, England
The St George's Cathedral features Gothic Revival architecture with intricate stained glass windows, ornate altars, and decorative stone carvings throughout the structure.
The cathedral, completed in 1848 as the first Catholic cathedral built in the United Kingdom since the Reformation, suffered severe damage during World War II bombings.
The cathedral maintains regular performances by its boys and men's choir, presenting Tudor polyphony, Gregorian chants, and works from baroque to contemporary composers.
The cathedral stands opposite the Imperial War Museum and offers daily Mass services at 7:30 AM and 12:30 PM for visitors and the local congregation.
Augustus Pugin, the cathedral's architect, became the first person to marry within its walls, celebrating his third marriage there on August 10, 1848.
