Between The Bridges is a vibrant entertainment venue located on Queen's Walk along
London’s dynamic South Bank, SE1. Established in 2021, the venue quickly became a central hub for nightlife, offering a unique blend of open-air and covered spaces inspired by the city’s culture of pop-up experiences and riverside leisure. Housed under the shadow of the iconic
London Eye, Between The Bridges occupies a prime spot that was previously home to other temporary event spaces, notably "Summer by the River" and various food markets, eventually evolving into its current form as a year-round destination.
While relatively new in comparison to some of
London's legendary nightlife staples, Between The Bridges has built a strong reputation for inclusive, innovative programming, and an atmosphere that fuses festival-like energy with the comfort of a social drinking spot. The venue is particularly known for its lively drag brunches, craft beer hall, creative street food vendors, and immersive entertainment nights. Its cultural significance stems from acting as a post-pandemic beacon for Londoners and tourists alike—a testament to the city’s resilience and
love for communal gathering spaces.
The site has undergone a number of layout changes due to seasonal pop-ups and adaptations for themed events, though it has remained anchored to its riverside locale, serving as an adaptable fixture on the Queen's Walk. In a short time, Between The Bridges has become synonymous with the South Bank’s renewed sense of energy, playing host to a broad mix of musical genres, dance parties, trivia nights, and family-friendly events, and serving as a platform for both established and emerging talent. Its accessibility and open-door approach have reinforced its status as a must-visit destination in the ever-evolving landscape of
London nightlife.
