An awards ceremony venue for 2,500, a conference for 500, a reception for 100 – we have event spaces for all this and more, set against a backdrop of the River Thames and some of the capital’s most iconic architecture.

We provide a dedicated event manager to work with you throughout the planning and delivery of your event, whether that’s a live event, hybrid or virtual.

Millions of locals and tourists make a point of visiting us each year so why not choose a destination that’s a real draw for your guests? Our excellent transport links mean we’re easy to reach from just about everywhere.

Plus by choosing Southbank Centre you are booking much more than an iconic backdrop – bringing your event to us helps us to continue to bring the arts to all.
