If the recent spate of warm weather (curse you, fool’s spring) has taught us anything, it’s that we simply love beer garden weather. And, sure, the weather may have taken a turn once again, but we’re sure more warm weather is on the horizon. And one of the best places for al fresco drinking has returned to London. Between The Bridges – the enormous beer garden and event venue – has popped up in the middle of the city once again.
With endless pints of craft beer to sip at, delicious street food to chow down on, and a never-ending array of events and parties, Between The Bridges takes everything we need for a brilliant day out and packages it into one convenient (and enormous) location. Tucked between Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge, it boasts commanding views of the London skyline. And it’s back once again for 2025, to usher in the return of outdoor drinking weather.
What’s on at Between The Bridges?
Between The Bridges has an absolutely stacked roster of free and paid events on offer this year. We’re talking everything from sports screenings and DJs to live performances, drag shows and brunches, themed club nights and more.
Be sure not to miss the return of the Old Dirty Brasstards with renditions of indie pop-rock classics like you’ve never heard them before. Let’s not forget, either, the raucous fun of Barrioke with Barry from Eastenders, or Swiftageddon – the ultimate night out for Swifites.
As well as all manner of live entertainment, Between The Bridges is bringing back the SoLo Craft Fair. On the first Sunday of each month, visitors can browse fashion, art, jewellery, plants, and crafts from “over 60 talented London makers and designers”.
Naturally, you’ll need plenty of food and drink along the way. Between The Bridges has you sorted with heaps of street food options, multiple bars, and a mixture of indoor and outdoor areas. There’s no need to worry about the weather, either, thanks to the heated and weather-proofed portions of the venue.
The best part of all? Entry to Between The Bridges is totally FREE! (But you’ll have to pay for ticketed events and your food and drinks… Of course…)
📍 You’ll find Between The Bridges on South Bank’s Queen’s Walk, between Westminster & Waterloo Bridges. The nearest station is Waterloo.
