Between shows

things to do nearby

There are lots of great pubs and restaurants on the doorstep. We highly recommend Bala Baya and the Mc & Sons pub. You’re also a stone’s throw from more serious art and culture, if you’re that way inclined:

  • Southbank
  • Tate Modern
  • The Globe
  • National Theatre

…not that you’ll have the time.
