About this space
The Understudy is a craft beer pub located on the ground floor of the National Theatre on London’s South Bank. Known for its relaxed, creative atmosphere, it blends industrial-chic interiors with large windows that offer plenty of natural light and sweeping views of the River Thames. An expansive outdoor terrace makes it the ideal summer party venue, while flexible indoor layouts allow for meeting, theatre and standing reception events.
