Riverside Studios

Visited their spaces to see Mince Meat production. Simply a great place.

Riverside serve alternative ales in their bars which pairs nicely with the stylised pub food they serve.

Mince Meat production was set up in studio 2. It was a spacious black box studio with high ceilings. Definitely didn’t feel claustrophobic or stuffed.

Only down side was the fact that there were no warnings in place for high steps patrons needs to climb to get to their seats. No posters that I can see or warnings from the staff was in place.

Overall a good place. I am looking to see more shows there.

Lovely spot for a meal and people watching or just chilling with the wonderful view of the Thames. They also have cinema and different classes throughout the year. Worth checking out. A little gem 💎 ✨️ 💖

My first visit to the new Riverside Studios. Impressed with the changes - upgrading of the food and drink offer; plenty of space to sit and chill; nice box office with welcoming staff and feeling of bright and clean throughout. Will have to return to complete a full and detailed look around. Today was a quick look either side of the 1500 hours Matinee Performance of 'Operation Mincemeat - The Musical'. Plus things - clear labelling of directions; good access for anyone with mobility issues; very clean toilets with 'disabled' facilities separately; very helpful and friendly staff. Minus things - seating in Studio was on quite hard and little padding non folding chairs (after two and a half hours a numb rear resulted); seats were not offset so with a tall person in front (like my seat) about a third of the stage could not be seen resulting in having to lean side to side to follow the action; poor or rather no information about length of performance and whether an interval was included. After an hour, the stage went dark and the house lights came up and the Studio mostly emptied. Guessed that this was an interval as staff mentioned nothing and people came back after a few minutes clutching ice creams and drinks.

Great place let down by badly designed bar area. It’s a really nice community theatre and cinema - we were here for the theatre. When you enter there’s a large bar area directly in front of the entrance but do not order a drink here - if you do you will be shoo-ed to a tiny ordering area - then after ordering you are shooed into an even smaller drink collection area effectively queuing despite ground floor is very spacious and luxurious with room for all (love the art work by the way). Before you even enter the cinema or theatre this leaves a terrible impression - you have turned the ground floor into a restaurant despite the fact it is a cinema / theatre. You alienate cinema and theatre attendees in preference to diners. It might be where the profit is but with such a big space it could be arranged better. Such a shame

Nice cafe and restaurant on site , nice location by the Thames.
Cinema and BBC studios where Dr who, old grey whistle test have been filmed. A small theatre too where I saw Cages ( thoroughly recommended)

Went to see Cages London Production. Was very good show, and the venue was nice. Food was decent, although pricey. Would rec9mmend Sam's restaurant inside.

Visited here for the theatre to see 'Cages'. A lovely building with so much to do. Here, you'll find theatres, cinemas, restaurants and a bar. So much space to have a drink and a chat before the theatre, And some fantastic memorabilia to look while waiting. The other reason I didn't give 5 stars was we had to wait a long time for drinks at the bar and especially in the interval, when only a limited amount of time..... But this doesn't take away how fantastic it is here.

First time back since the renovation was completed. Went to see a play starting Elizabeth McGovern about Ava Gardners last years. It was a compelling story and so well acted. Riverside Studios looks stunning with the upgrade. Pleasant cafe and bar overlooking the Thames and a restaurant called Sam’s as well.
