The South Bank - London
The South Bank is a labyrinthine creation of post-war architecture devoted to the arts, with theatre, music, painting, sculpture and even graffiti, all richly represented, making it a leading attraction for art lovers from the UK and abroad. With the Hayward Gallery, National Theatre, London Eye and nearby Tate Modern all packed into a small area of cultural density, and lavishly sprinkled with street skateboarders and an IMAX cinema, the South Bank can be a day out in itself, or with its central London location the perfect start or end to a visit to the UK’s capital.
