Local before arrival
There’s always something happening at the Southbank Centre, and a stroll along the Thames from Tate Modern – a short fifteen-minute amble – to visit this arts hub should be on every visitor’s to-do list. Home to the Royal Festival Hall, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Hayward Gallery, this area hosts many concerts and exhibitions. During summer, there’re always plenty of free outdoor events to entertain visitors and locals alike. Gourmet food trucks take up residence there, and the vibe is festive.
