Enjoy some classical music versions of Ed Sheeran's and Coldplay's biggest hits in the beautiful candlelit setting of Southwark Cathedral.

The 800-year-old Southwark Cathedral in the shadow of The Shard is a tranquil sanctuary from the busy hubbub of Borough Market round the corner. When the concert is over you might like to go for a peaceful evening stroll along the river towards the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.

Classical versions of their biggest hits

The programme will feature an hour of music including Coldplay's Clocks, Something Just Like This, Adventure Of A Lifetime, Fix You, The Scientist, Viva La Vida and A Sky Full Of Stars, plus Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits, Photograph, Shivers, Perfect, Give Me Love and Shape Of You.
