Gift to the Future at Southbank Centre: free London guide
More than 90 lines of poetry created with school pupils appear across the Southbank Centre site. The live page lists Sunday 27 September at 08:00; entry is free and needs no ticket.
What it is
Lines created by primary-school pupils are enlarged across the Southbank Centre’s brutalist buildings.
The route connects poetry, public space and the site’s Festival of Britain history rather than placing everything in one gallery.

Date and entry
The official live event page lists Sunday 27 September 2026 at 08:00 and free entry with no ticket required.
Under-12s must be accompanied by an adult on the Southbank Centre site.
Plan the route
Begin at Royal Festival Hall and treat the work as a thread through the wider complex.
Add one nearby installation or a riverside walk instead of crossing London between short stops.
Access and weather
The work spans indoor and exposed public spaces.
Southbank Centre publishes current lift, step-free, seating and assistance information; check it when access determines whether the visit works.
