A group of 50 Concierge enjoyed a visit to the Seventy5th Balcony Bar and Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre.
Seventy5th Balcony Bar
On a warm summer's evening, the group gathered at the newly-opened Seventy5th Balcony Bar, situated on Level 5 of the Royal Festival Hall.
They were able to enjoy panoramic views of the River Thames and central London skyline as they enjoyed a selection of drinks and canapés.

The Hayward Gallery
The Concierge were then invited to the Hayward Gallery, a world-renowned contemporary art gallery and a landmark of brutalist architecture.
They viewed the Yoshitomo Nara exhibition, the largest European retrospective of one of Japan's most celebrated artists (ends 31 Aug).
This thematic exhibition, featuring more than 150 works in drawing, painting, sculpture, installation and ceramics, reveals enduring influences on the artist’s work, particularly nature and its mythology, the peace movement, the significance of home, and his interest in punk and rock music and popular culture.
