Walk-in bookings: Strada Southbank is a popular restaurant with a good location. This means that it can get busy, particularly at weekends. However, the central location of the restaurant means that many of the tables are left open for walk-ins - it is not possible to book a table in their outdoor terrace area. This means that, even if there are no tables free on your arrival, you can join a queue and you should not need to wait more than a maximum of twenty minutes for a table at busiest times. However, if you are coming with a large group, it is worth booking in advance to avoid the inconvenience of having to search for an alternative.
There are Strada restaurants located all over London. Therefore, if you want to try out a Strada, but there are no tables free at the one on the Southbank, you could head to another branch in the area. To find out the locations of the other restaurants, check the Official Strada website.
