Getting to South Bank
South Bank is one of London’s most popular areas and a must-visit for anyone visiting the city for the first time. Just across the Thames from the Houses of Parliament, the South Bank area spans the riverside from Lambeth Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge.
We’re easily reached by tube, train, cycle, boat or taxi, but the best way to discover all that South Bank has to offer is on foot. The area is predominantly pedestrianised, allowing you to walk freely and safely, all the way along the edge of the river, as well as off the beaten track into the side roads, wharfs and tunnels to encounter its hidden gems.
By Train
South Bank is brilliantly connected to three rail stations: Waterloo, Waterloo East and Blackfriars.
