A Room for London - Public bookings to spend a night in A Room for London, a one-bedroom installation on the roof of Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, opened on 8 September 2011 (for nights January to June 2012) but have now sold out. The second stage of bookings (for nights July – Dec 2012) will open on 19 January. Prices start from £120 (for up to two people). Perched high above the city, this beautifully crafted space offers a unique and playful perspective on an area of London more commonly seen from river level. With an en-suite double bedroom, kitchenette, library and viewing deck, guests are invited to rest and reflect upon what they see and hear during their one night stay; logging their thoughts, observing cloud patterns, the character of the river and deeper undercurrents. David Kohn Architects and artist Fiona Banner drew inspiration from the riverboat captained by Joseph Conrad whilst in the Congo in 1890, a journey echoed in his most famous work Heart of Darkness. The winning design for the Room was selected from over 500 entries in an open international competition.
