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.
