Our Cathedral of St George is a building of which we are justly proud. It is the principal Church of our diocese and is the central focus for our life and worship. It is also of considerable importance because of its history, and because of its location in the heart of London . The maintenance and the development both of the Cathedral and its Hall are vital for our outreach and mission, as well as for welcome and hospitality. Your support and your generosity will be greatly appreciated.

Harmony from Diversity – a Centre for Prayer and Worship

• St George's Cathedral is the centre of Roman Catholic life in South London and south-east England.
• Close to the heart of Central London, it is a haven of peace in a fast-moving, and frenetic environment.
• It draws together people from a rich range of cultural and social backgrounds, coming from the local community, the diocese and beyond.
• As well as being the home for major diocesan events it provides a focus for many different groups, organisations, and expatriate communities.

An Historic Building

• St George’s was designed by the famous Victorian Architect, AWN Pugin and completed in 1848 to become, in 1850, the cathedral church of the new Roman Catholic diocese of Southwark, covering south London and Kent.
• The original Cathedral was severely bomb damaged in 1941, but rebuilt and opened again in 1958.
• The Archbishop Amigo Hall – a vital annex to complement the Cathedral - was built in 1938 and has been widely used as a community centre by Catholics and non-Catholics.
