Grand Central Bar
Skylon Restaurant & Bar is your riverside meeting place. A stone’s throw away from London’s best theatre, classical music and art, located inside the South Bank’s Royal Festival Hall.
The showstopper of Skylon is our Grand Central Bar, with a stunning black porcelain bar top and unparalleled views of the River Thames. Whether it’s a pre-theatre drink, a late-night tipple, or a weekend martini, there’s no better spot on the South Bank.
The Grand Central Bar menu features top-tier mixology, championing British Gins and vodkas, alongside an excellent wine collection.
