Well... that didn't take long.I said that I wanted to get back to tour the grand Southwark Cathedral and since today was my Friday off and London dodged the blizzard conditions the rest of the country was experiencing it seemed like an opportune time.
A place of Christian worship for over 1400 years it is adorned with fantastic stained glass windows, fan vaulted ceilings and intricately sculpted statues.
Although he isn't buried here, there is a monument to William Shakespeare. His brother, however, is buried within the Cathedral as are several other noted Britains.
The filtered light coming through the windows while I was there made for a very moving visit.
