Views & reviews
‘Thank you so very much for all your help with the planning of our reception in the beautiful Weston Pavilion.
We don’t take for granted the amount of work it takes behind the scenes to allow the magic to happen in front of our guests, and indeed the magic did happen as our guests loved the reception along with the play.
Again thank you so much, we could not have delivered such a lovely event without all of your help!’

‘We chose the Southbank Centre for our event because of its great location, stunning views and commitment to sustainability. We were particularly drawn to the Weston Roof Pavilion because of its outside space and the vast amount of natural light. Our communication with the Southbank Centre was always clear and efficient in the lead up to the event – no ask was too big. On the day, Kyesha was responsive and resolved any issues promptly. The catering (provided by Company of Cooks) was delicious, sustainable and served efficiently.
Overall, we felt well supported throughout the whole process and would definitely recommend the Southbank Centre.’
– Chloe, The Health Foundation
‘The shape and adaptability of the Weston Roof Pavilion meant we had scope to host up to 100 guests, while still maintaining a level of intimacy for a panel discussion. The real showstopper was the fantastic views of the London Eye and cityscape behind, which framed the backdrop for our panel. Without a doubt we would use this venue for future events, and we highly recommend it to other events.’
– Katey-Rose Gregory, Content Marketing Manager, Rethink Group/RTM
