The BFI cinema has two bars, a smaller bar just off the box office, and this bustling riverfront space underneath Waterloo Bridge on the Queen's Walk.
A great terrace that stretches right across the venue is the perfect people-watching location. Grab a seat, settle in and watch the crowds pass by as they pause to explore the daily second-hand book market that usually pops up right in front.
Inside there's a choice of the casual bar area with its bar stool seating or the dining area. A relaxed place to meet for drinks or an afternoon coffee, there are lots of options when it comes to food and drink including burgers, salads and a selection of stone-baked pizzas.
BFI Balcony Bar
Previously used as a private hire space for events, the BFI Riverfront's Balcony Bar is now open daily to the public.
Tucked right underneath the Waterloo Bridge and looking onto the famous South Bank Book Market, the balcony is a deceptively large space with plenty of discreet cosy corners, covered outdoor seating and plenty of space on the banquettes overlooking the bar area inside. Open daily from 4pm, this is a prime spot to enjoy a drink before or after a film.
