National Theatre

Feel free to hop into the National Theatre's terraces from 2pm every OpenMind Sunday. These spaces, both indoors and outdoors, naturally welcome visitors looking for a peaceful afternoon in the heart of London.
The outdoor terraces float above the Thames, offering quiet spots where you might find people sketching, reading, or simply watching boats pass by. These elevated walkways provide a gentle escape from the South Bank's energy below.
Indoor Spaces
Step inside to find:
- Comfortable corners with riverside views
- Peaceful nooks for reading
- Open areas where conversations naturally unfold
No need to plan ahead - just wander up after 2pm and find your place.
