About Southwark Cathedral
Sitting snugly between the River Thames and the bustling stalls of Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral is one of London’s oldest and most beautiful places of worship. Located at London Bridge, this striking Gothic cathedral has stood on its current site for over 1,000 years, with the present building dating all the way back to the 13th century.
Known for its striking architecture, peaceful cloisters, and rich literary connections, Southwark Cathedral also has strong ties to William Shakespeare, whose brother Edmund is buried there. As you wander this historic site, you can admire its stained glass windows, explore the cathedral shop, or simply sit and take in the calm of this spiritual sanctuary.
Plenty To Eat near Southwark Cathedral
Once you’ve seen the sights and taken some snaps, it’s probably time to satisfy that beast growling in your belly. Lucky for you, one of the best restaurants near Southwark Cathedral is just a 5 minute walk away and serving up some of the best seafood in London.
At Angry Crab Shack, we’re known for the boldest seafood boils, packed with flavour, spice, and a whole lot of fun. Inspired by Cajun-Asian flavours, our menu is built around hands-on, family-style dining that brings people together, with bibs, gloves, and plenty of napkins provided for when things get deliciously messy.
Our famous seafood boils let you choose from ready made combos or build your own bags, filled with the freshest crab, shrimp, mussels, lobster tail, clams, and scallops, then doused in your favourite sauce and spice level. From buttery Garlic Butter and zesty Lemon Pepper to our signature Trifecta, our boil bags are swimming in flavour and then dumped directly onto your table for you to begin feasting. These bags are what we do best, allowing you to don your bib, crack open some claws and experience every drop of delicious, buttery goodness we’re known for.
Not into seafood? That’s no problem, we’ve also got juicy burgers, spicy fried chicken, Cajun lobster rolls, Po’ Boys, salads and loaded sides like mac & cheese, fries, and fried calamari. Whether you’re in for lunch, dinner, or just cocktails and oysters, we’re one of the places to eat near Southwark Cathedral, doing things our own way!

At Angry Crab Shack, we’re all about balance – bringing the heat with our food and cooling things down just as effortlessly.
While our seafood is obviously what we’re most known for, we’ve also got the drinks to match, and whether you’re diving into a fiery seafood boil or just kicking back after a stroll around Southwark Cathedral, our drinks menu will refresh, excite, and complement every bite. With a varied menu at your disposal, every guest can find something they like with choices like ice cold beers, refreshing ciders, cocktails, mocktails and soft drinks.
If you’re in the mood to celebrate, our cocktails bring the party with some classic choices, some Cajun-inspired twists and some Angry Crab Shack originals. The Hurricane, for example, is a tropical rum based classic blending fruity flavour with a lively kick. Another guest favourite is the Love Shack, a fruity fusion of lemon vodka, raspberry liqueur, pineapple juice, and lemon-lime soda. Or, for a taste of the city, enjoy an elegant gin-based mix of gin and ginger beer with our London Mule. Then, if you’re feeling brave, the Cajun Bloody Mary brings the heat with a peppery kick that’s perfect alongside our boldest boils.
Of course, if you prefer to keep it alcohol free, our mocktails are every bit as fun. Cool off with a Virgin Berry Burst Mojito, sip something sweet with the Coral Kiss, or chill out with the tropical creaminess of our Coconut Wave. We also offer a wide selection of beers, ciders, wines, soft drinks, and juices, so there’s no reason for anyone to feel left out.
