Southbank Centre Christmas market
Shop for Christmas gifts and quirky crafts at the twinkling wooden cabins of the Winter Market, which line the south bank of the Thames. Tuck into festive snacks and steaming drinks, from mulled wine and hot chocolate, to German sausages, mince pies and spiced cider. And keep the little ones entertained with the family-friendly activities.
Seasonal food and drink
- Grab a pint of craft ale in cosy surroundings at The Hop Locker Bar.
- Take in the views with a Nordic-inspired drink in hand on the Queen Elizabeth Roof Terrace.
