Go behind the scenes at the National Theatre. The backstage tours are a real eye-opener.

The South Bank Book Market, beneath Waterloo Bridge, is perfect for a potter and you might even find a first-edition!

For bars and restaurants off the beaten track, we suggest an exploration of Waterloo Quarter. The Old Vic Theatre and Young Vic Theatre bars are great places to hang out.

Or, discover the historical back streets of the South Bank on foot with one of the Walk This Way walking guides.
