Walking down the South Bank

I can’t think of a better way to spend a sunny afternoon than walking down the South Bank, a stunning riverside stretch and an eclectic area that is the cultural heart of the city and home to London's most iconic attractions, theatres, arts and design-led venues.  You can start your journey either in Waterloo or London Bridge station and have lunch at the Borough Market, a renowned food market that captures the best of the British culinary history. It is open for lunch Monday to Friday (10 am to 3 pm) and the full market opens daily until 5pm.

After a tasty meal you can walk along the Thames and explore the South Bank, an area with unique examples of architecture such as the South Bank Lion or the Oxo Tower. The area is buzzing with things to see and do like free events, music, film, exhibitions, dance, theatre, debates, festivals and all sorts of family fun.
