Queen Elizabeth Hall Roof Garden
Thu – Sun, from 12 noon
Welcome to London's very own secret garden
Nestled on top of the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Roof Garden is a haven, home to over 200 wild native plants, a luscious lawn, views across London and our Cafe & Bar.
In the ten years since it opened, this peaceful space has become a much-loved feature of the Southbank Centre, especially on sunny days.
This is the ideal spot to lose yourself in a great book, or to work remotely surrounded by nature.
The Cafe & Bar offers expertly made coffee, homemade pastries, cocktails inspired by the garden and speciality gins from across these shores, from the sandy beaches of the Isles of Scilly up to the medieval city of Stirling in Scotland.
The garden, originally a partnership with the Eden Project, was built and continues to be maintained by volunteers from Grounded EcoTherapy, a group which offers people dealing with issues like homelessness and addiction help through horticulture.
We may have to close the Roof Garden in bad weather and for private events.
