1 / 2Riverside Studios
📍 London, Greater London
Multi-arts venue on the Thames offering cinema, theatre, and cultural events including relaxed performances and parent & baby screenings. On-site Bar & Kitchen and Bakery serve food with river views from indoor and outdoor seating.
Went to visit an exhibition of incredible drawings and collages by Daria Hlazatova. The artworks were immediately available for viewing in the main hall, for free! The staff kindly showed me through to a couple of corridors that contained more works of art. Wonderful exhibition in a great venue, around 10 to 15 minutes walk from the station. Nice bar and seating areas indoors, with a lovely view of the Thames, and Hammersmith Bridge. Seating outside is available, but less seats, so busy on a nice summer's evening. 9pm curfew outside, which was disappointing. I will happily return.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 6+ who enjoy theatre and cultural experiences. The Thames-side location rewards those willing to travel west of central London. Staff are consistently praised for going above and beyond, including resolving ticketing issues on the night. Main hall exhibitions are free to enter.

“Never knew this existed until my wife bought me tickets for the immersion Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy performance. A little further out than the established theatre zone but in a lovely position by the Thames. There is a cafe/bar and a restaurant and although we did not try them, they looked clean and inviting. Theatre was good with the HH event going through two studios (I think that there are three in total. It was not a seated event so can't comment on that.”

“Another excellent event at Riverside Studio. Attended a cinema event with Brian Blessed. Bought a delicious roasted vegetable panini - hot and fresh, good price for London. Easy access to the venue and facilities are good.”

“Wow what a great experience. Our tickets had not shown up and the staff bent over backwards to find our reservations. They were exceptionally kind and friendly and helpful throughout the brilliant evening! Thank you.”
