Set beside the River Thames in the heart of London, our Southbank Centre brings together some of the capital’s most distinctive cultural and event spaces. Our estate includes Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, Hayward Gallery, the National Poetry Library and a range of flexible public and event spaces. We can accommodate everything from intimate meetings to major conferences, receptions and large-scale celebrations. Our venues combine landmark architecture, riverside and skyline views, strong transport connections and professional event support. We provide dedicated event management and access to experienced production teams, catering partners and technical facilities, allowing us to support both straightforward corporate events and complex productions. Our spaces also work well for film premieres, awards ceremonies, exhibitions, fashion shows, brand activations, private concerts and artistic events. Accessibility is an important part of our operation, and our performance and exhibition spaces, cafés, bars and restaurants are designed to be accessible to visitors.
