Setlist

Located at the Waterloo Bridge entrance of Somerset House, Setlist sits within the site’s vibrant creative community. Rooted in Somerset House’s ethos of innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration, Setlist is a space for play, experimentation, and connection.

Behind the bar, Setlist serves local beers and wines alongside a carefully curated range of seasonal drinks. The venue also boasts one of London’s largest non-alcoholic selections, with an extensive menu of alcohol-free cocktails, 0% beers, and wines.

The food offering brings together an outstanding line-up of female chefs - Sophie Wyburd, Andrea Montes Renaud, Laura Copp, and Terri Merciec -creating a dynamic menu that reflects the best of London’s food scene. Regular pop-ups, guest chefs, and a summer BBQ series will run throughout the season. Regular pop-ups, takeovers and guest chefs will run throughout the season

At the heart of the venue is a bespoke 50-metre pavilion featuring a large-scale painted installation by Brixton-based artist Farouk Agoro, whose work explores space, rhythm, and emotion. The commission brings together his painting and public art practice for the first time.
