Queen Elizabeth Hall

Excellent venue on London's Southbank about 10 minutes walk from Waterloo Station. We attended a contemporary classical music concert by the brilliant Manchester Collective who performed 4 pieces including Steve Reich's great Different Trains. The venue can seat nearly 1000 people and has very good sight lines and acoustics. Two decent bars in the foyer.

Great Theatre, easily accessible from Waterloo station. The auditorium is spacious with very comfy seats. I saw Spongebob the musical here and the themeing of the food, drinks and photo ops outside was on point. The area around the theatre is also very vibrant for being a brutalist construction. There's a lively skate park underneath the theatre, decorated erratically with decades of graffiti and the skaters don't mind you watching them as there is often a rather sizable crowd. There are also a number of existing bars and resterants in the area perfect for an after show bite or drink. If you are walking from Waterloo station you are sure to pass a couple of these establishments nestled under the train bridges, or maybe disused train bridges, I don't know as I didn't see or hear any trains above the places in question. Overall a great theatre in a great area, with friendly helpful staff and amazing productions. I implore you to visit.
