Every winter the Southbank Centre turns the banks of the Thames into a frosty wonderland, full of little wooden Alpine-style cabins selling gifts, warming drinks, and snacks. This year, you can cosy up at Fire And Fromage with its heated riverside igloos where you can snaffle down cheese fondue. Further down, you’ll find huts serving up truffle burgers, duck wraps, and many more tasty morsels to keep you full and warm. Or grab a glass of mulled wine while you look through gifts, jewellery and decorations made by independent craft traders and take in those sparking riverside views.
When is Southbank Christmas Market open?
It's open Friday, November 1, until Boxing Day, Thursday, December 26, but some pop-ups will stay open until the new year. The Southbank Centre's Winter Festival is on for a little longer, from November 1 until Sunday, January 5, 2025.
Do you need to buy a ticket?
No, it's free to enter and have a wander.
