Between the Bridges – the eating, drinking, shopping and partying destination on the South Bank – has announced that it will soon close. The Queen’s Walk riverside venue will shut for 2026 while works take place on nearby Jubilee Gardens.  

For those not in-the-know, Between the Bridges is next to Hungerford Bridge and boasts food and drink stalls, themed markets and events. The site sits between Waterloo and Westminster bridges, within a short distance of attractions like the London Eye, London Dungeon, Southbank Centre and BFI.

While Between the Bridges is closing for 2026, apparently we aren’t saying goodbye to the venue forever. Organisers are expecting the all-seasons area will return after the Jubilee Gardens works are complete.

For the time being, the venue is going out with a bang. Between the Bridges is planning a fortnight of parties this month before it shutters, including free after-work live DJ events, Christmas discos, drag brunches and more. The finale will be a huge closing party on December 22.

The best markets and food halls in London.

Plus: the best London borough has been crowned for 2025.
