Stunning historical venue with varying spaces and amazing views.

London Bridge, SE1

The Space

Southwark Cathedral's Retro Choir is steeped in captivating history and stunning architecture. This intriguing space holds an unexpected past, once serving as a Bishops Court where notable historical figures faced trial and condemnation for their deeds. Later, it took a curious turn as a haven for a baker's livestock. Today, this unique area houses four small chapels dedicated to individual saints for worship, preserving its rich and varied heritage.

Nestled at the east end of the Cathedral, guests are enveloped by the enchanting medieval grandeur of the Retro Choir. Delight in the space's barrel-vaulted ceiling and exquisitely crafted stained glass windows that transport you through time.

Available for standalone hire or combined with the Nave, the Retro Choir sets the stage for intimate corporate affairs. Seating up to 80 for a memorable dinner or accommodating 200 guests for a standing reception, this space ensures an exclusive and enchanting setting for your event. Experience the allure of history infused with modern-day elegance at the Retro Choir.
