Southwark Cathedral Conference Centre
Conference Venues in Southwark
The Southwark Cathedral Conference Centre, opened in 2001 by Nelson Mandela, is a renowned venue in central London and the perfect location for those looking for conferance venues and meeting places in Southwark.
In the heart of Bankside, next to Borough Market, it is linked to London’s first gothic and oldest Cathedral church, though its facilities are ultra modern. The Centre offers unrestricted views of the Thames and beyond to the City, yet is perfect for quiet, concentrated reflection and strategic planning. Whilst London Bridge Station is yards away, your conference or seminar will take place in what seems like another world, amidst light oak and polished Portland stone and an energising sense of openness.
Six contemporary rooms offer light and airy event spaces for up to 80 delegates. The Churchyard makes the perfect setting for a summer party with a capacity for 600 guests.
