    Review of Cathedral's Cafe Only - Amzingly helpful staff, step free access, slight issue about toilets

    Southwark Cathedral historic building with a fascinating history. It's built in the gothic style, think smaller + more intimate version of Westminster Abbey (complement) with very friendly staff. There is stunning architecture, impressive nave with smaller side chapels and beautiful stained glass. It has links with William Shakespeare and his brother Edmund, who was also an actor, John Harvard, founder of Harvard University. In the Millennium Courtyard there is step free access and the Cathedral's café. This review is just for its self service café.

    Update - RADAR lock fixed

    Just an update from the previous review - the accessible toilet did have a broken lock, this has now been fixed. It's still cramped and full of bins, but the lock works.
