Recently refurbished with spongey leatherette seat covers. Limited leg room, so book an aisle or front of block seat if you'd prefer not to sit with your knees up round your ears.
The QEH opened in 1967 as a venue for a wide variety of music and dance acts. The inaugural performance that year was by the English Chamber Orchestra conducted by Benjamin Britten.
Great place when the sun is shining and it's Pimms O' Clock! Gets very busy in the summertime so get there early for a good spot
The little sister of the Royal Festival Hall, just next door. Chamber music and recitals often take place here, but you can also occasionally find the BBC Concert Orchestra .
Very friendly & helpful staff , blazingly fast wifi !
Free seating available on upper floors.
I agree that the internet connection is a bit dodgy in the foyer although I am riding the 3G just had a fish finger sandwich at Canteen so no room for the seed cake ! Shame.
Air conditioning makes it quite dry: bring some water with you in case you start coughing
This part of the Southbank Centre is closed for renovation, re-opening Spring 2018
Now under refurbishment waiting for a new lease of life
Great venue with amazing views over the Thames.
Oddly, the wifi works better inside the Purcell Room than in the foyer just outside it
Really lively venue
Had a great time watching Le Cirque Invisible preforming there. Read more
Best place for free wifi in the Southbank Centre.
Great beetroot and seed cake from the snack counter.

Careful of the barmen! Ours refused to serve water in mid-summer!
