St Mary Magdalen Church, Bermondsey Street, is opening its
doors again for guided tours of the church from 10.45am.
This is a fascinating historic church with many interesting
features and a rich history. Over 320 years old, with a
mediaeval tower, it is the oldest building in Bermondsey.
There will be two separate main tours of the ground and
first floors, commencing at 11am and 12.30pm, for a
suggested donation of £5 per person. For a small number
there will also be the possibility of a 30 minute tour
around the higher tower and the roof space, for an
additional donation. Numbers for the tower/roof are strictly
limited so you are advised to book in advance (see website)
if you wish to do this - first come, first served. See the
