DRAZApril 14, 2015Nice place to chill on sunny day. pick up food at nearby street market then walk to top of roof and chill on the grass.
Jennifer HowzeJuly 12, 2013Get here early on sunny days for the most rays and to beat the crowds. Some people bring blankets and picnics. Great speedy staff behind the bar.
Lili IbrahimApril 28, 2013This is a really nice roof top garden. A secret relatively well kept, but like with anything in London this means its pretty crowded. Some sunny days you will struggle finding a spot of free grass.
Alison RocheAugust 13, 2016Great views over the Thames if you can get past the hoards of people. I'd recommend going to the back where they've got a 'midnight apothecary' garden thing going on. Less of a view but more space.
My favourite lunch time summer spot is London's best kept secret. Ideal to escape from the crowd below. Cocktails and snacks available. Open from mid Spring to early Autumn.- Harriet RuffApril 19, 2015Pimms! Grass and a great view! Get there before 5 during the week to avoid post work rush!
Evening StandardMay 24, 2012The Southbank Centre’s rooftop bar is the perfect place to unwind after a hard day in the office. Sip an English Garden Cocktail amongst the vegetable planters and wildflower ‘meadow’. Read more- Stuart CruickshankJune 11, 2012Best kept secret on the Southbank. Grab a jug of Pimms, park yourself on the grass and you'll feel a million miles away from the tourist commotion going on downstairs.
Chris LarkinJune 7, 2015The bay on the top level gets really busy. Best go to the bar inside and carry it up instead
Martin LeeSeptember 6, 2011Great place to sit and have a drink while you wait for friends to arrive before going to see something cool in the Queen Elizabeth Hall or South Bank Centre Read more
DunjaSeptember 29, 2019The best ❤️ Cheap beers & cocktails with a lovely view, my favourite spot in London.
Valentina CiolinoSeptember 26, 2014Great on a sunny day, butterflies and good smell. Water at the bar a little overpriced.
Jonny WrightSeptember 29, 2013Great place to sit but it's far too expensive!! One of the only places I'd recommend you sneak in booze.
Pari Mistry-PatelJuly 11, 2017Atmosphere is lovely especially on a summers evening, but drinks are a little expensive.
My favourite place to hang out during summer. Their cocktail is not bad
Ward GubbiSeptember 28, 2016The shrubbery is nice and the view is okay. The drinks are overpriced and lacking in quality. wine gets served in a plastic cup for christ sake, not chilled (even though its white) and poor taste 🙁
Arno van den BergMay 10, 2015Chill out here when te sun is out. The queues at the bar can be annoying.
Calliope GeorgousiApril 16, 2014I would say their coffee is moderate not their prices. Water bottle is 1.80£ and an Americano is 2.50£ be prepared..
Catherine MonfilsOctober 9, 2011Great on Sundays for some peace & quiet you have the place almost for yourself.
Ankur BanerjeeJuly 31, 2016Just in case you miss the signs, there is no smoking allowed even though this is an open rooftop.
Time Out LondonMarch 26, 2012Planted as part of the Festival of Britain, with guidance from the Eden Project, and volunteers from St Mungo’s Charity, this rooftop has incredible views across the river. Read more
César Ort GaOctober 16, 2014Otro buen lugar que deben visitar si están en Londres, pero todo es muy caro así es que vayan con dinero

"The smallest of the three Southbank music venues specialises in chamber music, solo performances, mime and spoken word. It has a capacity of 370."
HISTORY UK - 6.3
"A well staffed bar for drinks before and after shows at the concert venue or to take outside on the terrace during the good season"
Enzo Martinelli - 5.4
"An arbitrary corner of the larger QEH lobby. Seems to be a roughly 70/20/10 chance of empty, peaceful silence, a milling pre-show audience or deafening live jazz."
