The Spotlight on citizenM London Bankside

Stylish, tech-savvy comfort in the heart of South Bank

Modern and effortlessly cool, citizenM London Bankside offers a smart stay just steps from some of London’s most iconic attractions and music venues. Tucked between the Tate Modern and Borough Market, this contemporary hotel blends design, convenience, and personality. With free Wi-Fi, mood-lit rooms, and streaming-friendly TVs, it’s tailor-made for travelers who like their base as fun as their night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than a 10-minute walk to major venues and just a short ride from even more via nearby London Bridge and Waterloo stations. After the encore, head back to a hotel that gets it — 24-hour reception, late-night food, and rooms designed to block out the world (including blackout blinds and soundproofing). Flexible check-in from 14:00 and check-out at 11:00 gives you just enough time to sleep in post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to explore and see a show
- Solo concert-goers chasing their dream gig
- Couples making a romantic music weekend out of it
- Fans who want a stylish but chill space to recover
- Budget-conscious travelers who still want quality and location

Food and Drink Options

CanteenM, the hotel’s 24/7 eatery, has your post-gig cravings covered with warm dishes, sandwiches, and late-night snacks. The bar keeps pouring cocktails and draft beers long after the encore. Morning-after breakfast buffet includes everything from pastries to a full English, served late enough to suit your sleep-in.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, the stylish bar is a great pre- or post-show hangout with a solid cocktail list and a relaxed vibe. Plus, you’re within walking distance to cool South Bank hangouts, wine bars, and hidden pubs that stay open late.

What People Say

Guests rave about the modern design, super-comfy beds, and tech-savvy features like the in-room iPads and free Chromecast. The location gets top marks for being central but quiet, and the communal spaces are a hit for relaxing or getting work done. Reviewers also love the friendly staff and the value for money.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are compact — so maybe not ideal if you’re traveling with a lot of gear or need to spread out. Also, while atmosphere is stylish and smart, it’s not the place for those wanting a traditional or luxury hotel experience.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want smart design, 24-hour convenience, and a location that’s as plugged in as they are, citizenM London Bankside hits all the right notes.

Good

Liked: The room felt a little like Star Trek Voyager - everything in the little room was controlled by a iPad - lighting, A/C, window curtains etc. But bed was big (1/3 of the capsule room) and super comfortable. Most importantly - great location: close by Tate Modern, underground (metro), Theatres and vibrant London neighborhoods.
Disliked: Size of the room = capsule, no kettle & tea in the room.

Very good

Liked: Modern, very good bed and pillows. The room is small but has smart way to help you organize things. It has refrigerator which is good because allowed us to buy food in the market for breakfast. Nice region, close to subway and train stations and many restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay!

Liked: The location can’t be beat. Next to the Tate Modern, the Globe, Borough Market. A lot of nice cafes. Not a touristy location but a clean, quiet, lovely part of town. The lobby is funky and fun and the morning cappuccino was great. The bed is super comfortable. It is very clean.
Disliked: The room is very small. It is perfect for a solo traveler but not for a couple.

Very cool hotel with slight...

Liked: The hotel is gorgeous, very modern and cool. From the moment you enter the huge lobby you can tell that every detail was considered. Very young and hip vibes, everything is controlled through a tablet, it won't be the best fit for older folks. The staff is very nice and helpful when the tech stuff aren't working :)
Disliked: The room is VERY small, though we knew that in advance, still it's an issue and one needs to be prepared for it.The toilet and the shower are a tiny booth in the middle of the room, and the most problematic part is that the sink is outside this booth so you're basically brushing your teeth and washing your hands in front of your bed. Another thing, the lighting in the shower is controlled by a tablet and you can pick the color of the light - lovely but no option for simple natural lighting which is strange. Overall it feels like there were many choices made here that preferred coolness over comfort.
