Southwark Cathedral provided lots of subject material, from the full length of the nave to a corner with candlesticks and columns, as well as colourful glass windows and even a horse (and dragon). Plus, in the background, a bout of organ music and regular short prayers, as well as a cafe attached to the cathedral - with a cathedral cat roaming the premises.
The cathedral has been a place of Christian worship for 1000 years. In addition to the association with Shakespeare (the Globe theatre was and is again nearby)
