7 must-go-to events across South Bank this winter
As we countdown to Christmas, London is bursting at the seams with places to eat, drink and be merry, but the choice can be somewhat overwhelming.
Thank goodness, then, for South Bank – London's one-stop shop for all your festive needs this Christmas. A pedestrianised zone, running from Lambeth Bridge to Blackfriar's Bridge and back away from the river to St George's Circus, the South Bank is abuzz with things to do, see, eat and buy this winter.
From a Finnish rooftop sauna and delicious lashings of mulled wine at Wintertime Festival, to sure-to-sell out family theatre and champagne receptions at NYE, long wintry nights are bright along the South Bank.
Here's our guide to the best things to do in South Bank London this winter!
Twinkling lights, festive foodie eats and one-of-a kind pressies await Christmas shoppers at Oxo Tower Wharf and Gabriel’s Wharf this December. With a little enclave of boutiques, cafes and designer-maker shops, Gabriel’s Wharf and Oxo Tower Wharf are the perfect (but less-trodden spots) for a bit of stress-free shopping.
For the festive season shops will stay open until 6pm, so take your time to mosey around. And, perhaps pop into Southbank Centre's Wintertime Festival for a glass of mulled wine to warm-up afterwards!
