About

Join a one-hour guided tour of Southwark Cathedral exploring the literary figures associated with the church. Cathedral Guides, who train extensively in 900 years of the Cathedral's history, lead the tour. The walk covers the life of John Gower, an important English court poet and friend of Chaucer, the world of 17th-century theatre from Shakespeare to Massinger, and Dickens' visit. Meet by the Welcome Desk via the Millennium Courtyard; spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.
