About this space
The Understudy is a stylish, riverside bar located beneath the National Theatre on London’s South Bank. Known for its relaxed, creative atmosphere, it blends industrial-chic interiors with warm, welcoming touches, featuring timber-clad walls, steel fixtures, theatrical lighting, and archive poster art from the National Theatre’s history. Large windows bathe the space in natural light, while outdoor seating offers sweeping views of the River Thames, making it a vibrant setting both day and night.
