The Tower rises to 41 storeys and enjoys stunning floor to ceiling views of London and beyond taking in both classical and contemporary landmarks.

The arts centre hosts a festival programme of over 5000 events every year across the genres of art, theatre, dance, classical and contemporary music, literature and debate. Another major local landmark is the London Eye which is the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel. It was conceived and designed by Marks Barfield Architects and was launched in 2000. It has won over 85 awards for national and international tourism, outstanding architectural quality and engineering achievement. The London Eye is available for corporate events and has become one of the most visited attractions in the UK in 2020.

The area of the present South bank was severely damaged during the Second World War, which lead to a major regeneration program. South Bank was chosen as the site for the Festival of Britain to lead this regeneration. The bombed-out riverside was cleared and developed in 1951. The Royal Festival Hall remained as a permanent legacy, and lead an Arts revival which saw the addition of other arts venues, such as the Hayward Gallery and Royal National Theatre, adding a second attraction to the dining and outdoor entrainment.
