Lasdun Restaurant
Enjoy the very best of culinary craft and culture under one roof
Right at the heart of our South Bank home, and named after our eminent architect Denys Lasdun, we bring you a dining experience from the team behind the award-winning Marksman Public House.
Lasdun’s menu puts a fresh twist on classic British brasserie-style dishes, all made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. It offers a celebration of the UK’s amazing produce, served up with a mix of timeless charm and modern flair.
With a vibe inspired by modernist design and London’s rich culinary history, Lasdun is the go-to destination on the South Bank, sitting just 10 minutes from Waterloo.

The menu offers a series of standout mains, such as roast Suffolk chicken, roast onion tart and our renowned sharing pie for two.
Please note, our a la carte menu is not available for Wednesday and Saturday matinees and between 5pm and 6:45pm every evening.
Our menus are based on seasonally available ingredients and sometimes a menu item may change or be unavailable temporarily.
