Drool-worthy deliciousness at the Southbank Centre
With a huge choice of street food and drinks, the Southbank Centre Food Market is a must-visit – whether you’re a certified foodie or just a little peckish. Some of the stand-out vendors include Galeta, which is an ideal spot if you’ve got a dominant sweet tooth. Enjoy some of the best Pastel de Natas in the city, or sort out that chocolate fix with their fabulous brownies.
If you’d prefer something savoury, Nobiani is a great option to discover authentic Korean BBQ with contemporary twists and tricks. Or if you’re feeling carnivorous, Beast & Field is famed for their heritage breed meats and rustic skin-on chips.
There’s this plus so much more at this essential food market in the centre of London. Open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays from 11 am onwards, it’s the perfect place for a tasty lunch in the heart of the city or a weekend outing along the Thames.
However, the Southbank Centre is so much more than a food market. This cultural centre also plays host to unmissable exhibitions, spectacular shows, plus so much more.
One of their upcoming exhibitions, When Forms Come Alive, delves into 60 years of contemporary sculpture, highlighting the ways in which artists draw on familiar experiences of movement, flux and organic growth. From a dancer’s gesture to the breaking of a wave, check out a fabulous collection of sculptures that are redefining the art world as we know it.
You can find the Southbank Centre at Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX. The food market is located located on the Waterloo Station side of the Royal Festival Hall. Click here to visit the Southbank Centre’s website.
