St Saviour's, Southwark is and was otherwise known as Southwark Cathedral. Its in Borough High Street, London SE1, in the Diocese of Southwark. If you Google 'Southwark Cathedral' you can find out more about it. CB >|<

It only became a cathedral in 1905. Before that it was St Saviour's. Don't go getting ideas above your station:-) nell
