Royal Festival Hall at Southbank

The auditorium itself is gorgeous! They’ve got great drink and food choices in the lobby and friendly staff. We went for a Swan Lake Concert event which was fantastic!

Really nice venue. We went to listen to a Rachmaninoff concert which was fantastic, the pianist was amazing and the choir were very good. We sat in the stalls block D, in my opinion really good seats central view and sound really good. A little bonus at the interval, an outdoor balcony overlooking the embankment beautiful sunset views. Would definitely visit again, great value for the tickets.

Surprised by how good the sound was here. One of the best acoustic arenas of this size in London. The new fifth floor bar is also great with amazing views. A bit of a hidden gem.

The Royal Festival Hall proved to be a magnificent setting for my graduation ceremony, lending a real sense of occasion to the day. The grandeur of the building and its iconic status elevated the entire experience, making it truly memorable. The hall was buzzing with excitement and the acoustics were superb, ensuring every word of the ceremony was crystal clear. I was particularly struck by the stunning architecture and interior design, a beautiful blend of modern and classic styles that created a sense of awe and wonder. Its location on the South Bank, with fantastic views of the Thames, was also a major plus. If I had to pick out any areas for improvement, it would be the slightly crowded feel during the entrance and exit, which is understandable given the large number of graduates and guests. The seating, while offering a good view, could also have been a tad more comfortable for the duration of the ceremony. But these are minor quibbles. Overall, the Royal Festival Hall is a fantastic venue for a graduation, and I'm so glad I had the chance to celebrate this important milestone there.

The place looks surgical but it is magical. It could do with better signage but there is always people around who can help you find your way around. Went to see Richard Ayoade's book presentation. A very funny evening. Also the food at the Food Hall is not bad and it isn't crazy expensive for the place and location. Looking forward to attend more events! The event in particular was very well organized with good subtitles, Deaf-signing, etc.
