Outdoor spaces are big business come summer, and this seasonal pop-up between Waterloo and Westminster bridges is one of the biggest and best in London, boasting lovely views over the Thames and an eclectic programme of drag shows, DJs, live performances and themed club nights.
Between the Bridges returns for its summer 2025 season runs from Thursday April 17, with an already packed schedule of entertainment on the cards, including tried-and-tested favourites like Barrioke with EastEnders actor Shaun Williamson, Taylor-themed party Swiftoggedon, 80s night Club Tropicana and Motown-themed immersive dining experience Soul Supper and bottomless brunches every Saturday.
There’s plenty of free entertainment on too, including after-work drinks on Thursdays soundtracked by old-school hip hop and RnB from resident DJs, Friday night’s Dock Discos featuring contemporary house and disco tunes, and Guilty Pleasures featuring nostalgic 90s and noughties pop bangers every Saturday evening.
The South Bank has long been a hub of great street food, and this year Time Out is getting in on the act, partnering with Between the Bridges to launch Time Out Eat Street, a mini food market featuring eight of our favourite street food vendors from around the city, including wood-fired pizza purveyor Homeslice, gourmet burger joint Patty & Bun, Netil Market favourite Sen Noods, soul food specialists Rack City Ribs, fusion chippy Every Fish & Chips, carne asada maestros CDMX Tacos and hyped Hackney Road sandwich shop Rogue Sarnies.
There’s nothing quite like a stroll down the riverside to make you appreciate London in the summer, and Between the Bridges is the perfect pit stop.
