The venue was perfect for my 30th birthday party. Chloe, who organised the event, was super friendly and really great at communicating throughout the whole process. The staff were all very nice and accomodating. It was good value for money and the location was amazing.

Verified Reviews of Event Venues in South Bank
We have used Sama Bankside for two 30th birthdays now and both have been great! The team are so friendly, Steve is super helpful and the venue has a really fun vibe. The minimum spend is really good value considering the location and how nice the venue is! The venue do great cocktails which have been a hit on both of our groups and having a chilled music vibe with the ramp up of the dj starting at 10 makes for a perfect party vibe! Would definitely recommend this venue and the team, thank you!
I hosted my boyfriend’s surprise bday party at SAMA Bankside and honestly it was the best decision. The whole team, and Steve especially, were so kind and thorough with everything and made the whole experience of organising this birthday such a breeze. I’m so glad I chose SAMA. Such a great venue! Thank you so much again to the whole team at SAMA! Would recommend it to anyone!!
The venue was great, and the newly decoration of the board room made a big difference. The food was lovely and well presented. Staff were always available to help, were friendly and this helped the party go really smoothly. Thank You
Great response time Great service Great value for money! Easy to reach location Flexible with catering Overall very impressed
Service! We had the downstairs arch and it worked perfectly for our very last minute engagement drinks. December is a nightmare to find a last minute venue at a reasonable price.
Excellent venue! We had our engagement party here and it was perfect. A great place for any party. Sama were so accommodating and couldn't do enough for us. We had a great night and I will definitely consider for future events! Perfect for a party of any kind or a corporate event. The plus is that downstairs has a wider dance floor and DJ so you can continue the night downstairs.
Great place to hold a party! The room was perfect for the size of my party 40, but can hold more people! The view out over Thames is fantastic and a lovely setting! I'd imagine it's even better during Summertime! Staff and managers were really helpful and accomodating and the food provided was excellent and a very good standard. Prices were also reasonable for central London.
