Inspired by the Festival of Britain

Skylon takes its name from the famous futuristic structure created for the Festival of Britain in 1951, which once stood on the Southbank as a symbol of innovation and optimism. Today, the restaurant continues that legacy, combining modern British dining with breath-taking views in one of London’s most iconic cultural landmarks.
