Festival continues with riverside bars, live sport screenings, family fun, and the much-anticipated Glasshouse Terrace open until the end of September

Summer isn't over just yet!

London Bridge City is delighted to confirm that Summer by the River will continue to transform the banks of the Thames into London’s favourite riverside retreat right through to the end of September.

Due to popular demand, the Glasshouses bar and padel pop-up will remain open longer than originally planned, giving Londoners extra weeks to enjoy riverside cocktails and padel matches with Tower Bridge as the backdrop.

Since its launch, the padel court has welcomed hundreds of players and become a defining highlight of the summer, combining sport, culture, and community against the backdrop of the Thames.

Open 16 hours a day, seven days a week, the court offers everything from casual matches and family games to exhibition play, charity events, and community sessions. Accessible to all ages and abilities, the experience reflects Summer by the River’s commitment to creating fun, inclusive and sociable moments in the heart of London.

This season also saw the launch of London Bridge City’s first-ever two-storey Glasshouse Terrace with rooftop views, the ultimate summer hangout featuring panoramic river views, premium cocktails, and unique experiences. The rooftop is also available for private summer parties and group bookings.
