Celebrating Southbank Centres 75th Anniversary

In celebration of 75 years of the Southbank Centre, we honour one of Britain’s most visionary cultural figures, David Bowie.

Inspired by his boundary-pushing legacy, our bartenders have created four cocktails in partnership with Lillet. Our four cocktails celebrate his legacy and long-standing collaboration of the arts.

A once-in-a-generation spectacle takes over the Southbank Centre this May. Performances begin from 2pm across the Southbank Centre, so if you’re dining with us, expect to be part of the 75th Anniversary show.
