Why locals recommend it
With a capacity of nearly 2,000, the hall is part of the largest performing arts complex in Europe. Home to the London Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, it has stunning acoustics. There’s a great atmosphere here because you’re surrounded by people who are here to see all kinds of things: music, dance, theater, film. If you’re booking a ticket to see the LSO, make sure you check for the free pre-LSO concerts. These are performed by excellent young artists from the nearby Guildhall School of Music.

Tips from locals
Has a host of exhibitions, shows, cinema etc. The building complex itself is really impressive - a prime example of brutalist architecture
Brutalist Architecture cultural center. Cafe, restaurant, art gallery, music hall, library and much more!
my favourite place in the whole of London! if you are into brutalist architecture, then you will want to go! this place has everything: wonderful outside seating round a 'lake', coffee, fantastic Martini bar, restaurants, art gallery, concerts, theatre and cinema.. take the 56 bus, and in 20 minutes it takes you there! look up what is on, as they cater for ever artistic need!
