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!
Clapham Common's Winterville, Lambeth's answer to Christmas festivity, has arrived.
Think street food pop ups rather than hot dog stalls, craft beer instead of watery lager and roller discos over traditional ice sculptures. Test your skills at Plonk Golf's circus-themed indoor golf course before settling in for one of your favourite holiday movies at the Backyard Cinema, which will be showing everything from Elf to Die Hard this holiday season.
Once you've built up an appetite, check out the wide range of food vendors, including live-fire Swedish barbecue sensationalists Lagom, and Chin Chin's dessert bar serving up your favourite nitrogen-infused ice cream scoops.
With market stalls aplenty, maybe you can even pick up those last minute gifts before heading over to the Ferris Wheel.
