Southwark Cathedral photo, Retrochoir

License this photo for your own use

You emerge from the south aisle into the wonderful retrochoir, a light and spacious area made all the more appealing by the beatifully crafted columns and tracery of the vaulting. This lovely work is primarily 13th century, and must rank as one of the most satisfying examples of medieval architecture in London.
