London South Bank - West South Bank

The South Bank runs along the south of the River Thames, and you can walk along the path eastwards to visit some of London's major attractions, including the London Eye and the Tate Modern. For the eastern end see our South Bank East pages.

The area has been tidied up in recent years, although still dominated by the concrete of the Festival Hall and National Theatre. .    ....more >

Lion on South Bank London's riverside has always played an important part in the capital's work and leisure.   In the 18th and 19th centuries docks, warehouses and factories were established here and the railways soon carved their way through the district.  Today the area is being rapidly developed with new offices.  

The South Bank is now one of London's most important cultural centres.  Severely damaged in the Blitz, this area was chosen as the site of the Festival of Britain in 1951. 

The Royal Festival Hall is the only building from 1951 to have survived but since then it has become the focal part of the arts centre that has grouped around it.  These include nationally important venues such as the Royal National Theatre, National Film Theatre, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Hayward Gallery.
