Constructed as part of the redevelopment of London after the ravages of the Second World War, The Royal Festival Hall is the largest venue in the Southbank Centre.

An innovative 'egg in a box' design means that the auditorium is slightly separated from the rest of the building (as well as the nearby railway viaduct) which results in crystal clear acoustics. This also makes for a cavernous underbelly that is one of London's most iconic skate spots.

Recently re-opened after substantial renovations, The Hall is back in business as far as music is concerned, hosting concerts by Iggy Pop and Motorhead amongst others.
