New and exciting restaurants along the South Bank pop up all the time, but don’t worry – we make it our business to list all the best restaurants on the South Bank alongside our partners at South Bank London. 

Some South Bank stalwarts, such as OXO Tower Restaurant and Sea Containers, are a great shout no matter what your business in the area is. Top-notch views and food to match never go out of fashion, as both of these long-standing restaurants prove. That said, if you’re in something of a hurry or in the mood for something a little less formal, there are plenty of new and exciting eateries along the South Bank, including the likes of Gunpowder, Bala Baya and Caravan Bankside.

Perhaps you’re looking for a family-friendly restaurant or somewhere that serves plenty of vegetarian or vegan options, in which case one of the chain restaurants near South Bank might suit. You’ll find classic Italian chains such as Strada and Pizza Express, alongside smaller chains such as Wahaca and Yo Sushi, plus a number of independent restaurants also worth a look.
