Join C20's favourite guide Philip Downer, as he explores the history and future of Southbank's architecture.
Since its opening, Southbank's somewhat harsh concrete landscape became a place for belonging to many, including the skateboarder community, which was pushed out from elsewhere in the city.
Learn more about the National Theatre, Royal Festival Hall, former IBM HQ as well as the newly listed Southbank Centre (Hayward Gallery, Purcell Room, Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Undercroft skate space).
The capacity is limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
