For the more explorative of South Bank frequenters, the Drawing Room at BFI Southbank will make for an interesting and altogether more private experience. To enter, look for the secret door behind a bookcase at BFI Southbank. Find it, and you’ve found the way to the Drawing Room – an intimate cocktail bar (which is also available for private parties).

The Drawing Room is also perfect for hosting a stylish, intimate private party or event.

Enviably located just off the Southbank Centre, directly opposite the Royal Festival Hall main entrance, Pizza Express is close to major attractions like the London Eye and the Aquarium.

It's open daily, rain or shine, with a wide selection of paperbacks and hardcover to choose from until 7pm (sometimes closes earlier in winter).
