Riverside Studios

Notting Hill & West London


Reopened after a five-year refit, the new Riverside has two theatres, two cinema screens, a state-of-the-art TV studio, brasserie, cafe and bar. The Riverside hosts an eclectic mix of performing arts, from circus to theatre and comedy, plus art-house cinema. The wholesale redevelopment has made the complex more accessible to the public and also incorporates a new riverside walkway.
