Peek behind the curtain on a guided tour for an exclusive glimpse into the secrets, stories and design innovations behind the Southbank Centre and Royal Festival Hall.
Join expert guides for an exclusive-access journey through the iconic, and at times divisive, architecture of their buildings, and uncover accounts from the people who brought them to life.
Walk in the footsteps of the stars who have performed here, learn why their acoustics are considered some of the best in the world, and discover how one little apple led to their famous green carpet.
The tour takes place in the foyer spaces and backstage areas.
