Sama Bankside has arrived to SE1; a new independent bar, restaurant, late-night venue, events and art exhibit space. Located just off Southwark Street and a five minute walk from Blackfriars Station, the venue sets out to create a truly authentic, individual experience.

Set within a two vast Victorian railway arches, the event space covers 6000 square feet over two floors. The robust rustic high ceilings have been connected and subdivided with a mezzanine floor, providing a flexible space for a variety of events from product launches to cocktail receptions.

The whole venue is available for exclusive hire and can accommodate 300 people, alternatively the basement can be hired independently for 250 people.

Great social space with lots of cool artwork. Spacious and well designed, just like being in Brooklyn.
