Building
The main structure of the present church was built between 1220 and 1420, making it the first Gothic church in London. It was designated as a Cathedral in 1905 when the Church of England Diocese of Southwark was created. In 2001, Nelson Mandela opened a new Northern 'Cloister' on the site of the old monastic one, with a refectory, shop, conference centre, education centre and museum.
