The Thames has inspired some unforgettable stories. This winter, we write the next chapter as Winter by the River makes its return to London Bridge City.

From Tuesday 10 November, explore rows of charming boutique market stalls, bursting with artisanal crafts, thoughtful gifts, and delicious treats. From luxury finds and handmade creations to meaningful “gifts for good” in partnership with social enterprises, there’s something to delight every shopper.

This year, Winter by the River includes two pop-up bars. The Clubhouse - a spectacular two-storey festive venue with panoramic views across the Thames. Guests can relax under an enclosed, heated rooftop canopy or step onto the open balcony to soak in the riverside views. Serving a full menu of seasonal drinks, craft beers, wine and spirits, The Clubhouse offers a stylish retreat for after-work gatherings, date nights or private celebrations. The Clubhouse is set to offer even more opportunities for exclusive events and entertainment throughout the season with live music and seasonal activities. 

Swift Stone Curling pop-up returns to London Bridge City Pier for continued curling fun! Gather your friends, family, or colleagues and test your skills, featuring six curling lanes and a larger central bar all set inside a cosy, glass-enclosed riverside venue. With space for up to eight players per lane, each 50-minute session blends friendly competition with festive atmosphere, a perfect choice for holiday get-togethers or team outings.

So wrap yourself in wonder and make moments to remember. This is Winter by the River 2026 – a real page-turner.
