London’s signature church will admit females to its choir from 2025, breaking a taboo of 900 years.

It needs the extra time to expand boarding facilities in the school.

Sarah Mullally, bishop of London, said: ‘I am delighted by the chapter decision to welcome girls into the cathedral choir. The choir plays a key role in the worship not just of the cathedral, but of the whole diocese. It will be wonderful to hear girls’ voices contributing to this.’
