Located by the river Thames, with sweeping views of the capital from the London Eye to St Paul's Cathedral, Southbank Centre is a unique metropolitan arts centre, with 21 acres of creative space and an extraordinary history. The Royal Festival Hall, one of the world's leading concert venues, stands at the heart of the site and reopens in June after an extensive refurbishment. Other iconic buildings in Southbank Centre include the Queen Elizabeth Hall and The Hayward.
