Udderbelly Southbank

You haven't truly made the most of summer in London if you haven't been to the Udderbelly festival! The emergence of the mighty purple cow at Southbank is a sign that summer is here!

We are there every summer at least a couple of times and my favorite drink to order is always Pimm's. The beer garden, performances, food, atmosphere...everything at Udderbelly is great. I love the little corner... more

Underbelly Festival is the annual summer festival in Southbank, easily noticable while in Southbank due to the huge purple cow that actually is the main stage. A line-up of different range of performances every day from cabaret, circus & comedy acts. more

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to catch a show, but I did stop by for a drink and to check out their food vendors. They had at least three bars - they all had beers and cocktails, and one was Tanqueray branded. It was free to enter, and they had a ton of food vendors, like the meat-heavy Laughing Stock, a waffle stand, pizza, and other dessert options. Reasonably clean (and free) bathrooms... more

If I had kids and wanted to take them somewhere in London that I could enjoy as well - Udderbelly would probably be that place!

There's a decent range of beers to choose from at standard London prices, plenty of places to sit - both covered and uncovered for that 1 hour of sunshine, and plenty of activities going on (some ticketed) to entertain the masses!

Something for everyone really! more

Such a wonderful place to see great comedy and cabaret! I love seeing shows in the purple-upside-down-cow - reminds me of being in Edinburgh during the Fringe festival. The whole set up is great, I really like the bar bear the speigeltent, where you can sip on a beer or a cider in seats fashioned to look like a waltzer. A summer institution. more
