Bankside is an independent hotel on London’s culturally vibrant South Bank, with 161 bedrooms including seven suites, designed as a social hub for those with a passion for culture, art and high-quality food. This intimate six-storey hotel feels like home thanks to friendly, passionate service, where mid-century interiors, handpicked furniture and eclectic artworks sit alongside discreet hi-tech touches to create a timeless design narrative with a forward-looking spirit.
At the heart of the hotel is Art Yard Makers Studio, a permanent space dedicated to craft and creativity. This working studio offers a home to emerging artists and sits beside Art Yard Bar & Kitchen, inviting guests and passers-by to step inside, meet the makers and watch their creative process unfold.
The creative energy extends into the informal, art-filled restaurant and bar, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serving fresh, seasonal food and inventive cocktails. Like the art that surrounds it, every dish at Art Yard is an exploration of creativity and craft, where Mediterranean inspiration meets British seasonality, and provenance meets playfulness.
Bankside also offers versatile meeting and event spaces, including mid-century residential-style meeting rooms and The White Box, a blank-canvas event space that allows every gathering to take on its own atmosphere. The rotating art exhibition in The White Box enables guests to host events in a gallery-style, art-filled setting. The hotel also features an outdoor terrace for summer events and a stylish mezzanine lounge ideal for private gatherings.
Located just steps from Blackfriars Station, with easy access to Waterloo and Southwark stations, Bankside sits at the heart of the South Bank, surrounded by world-class galleries and the Southbank Centre, a place where culture, connection and creativity come naturally.
