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 - Opeoluwa Odutayo, 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. Check Setlist website for updates on future events.

The top team behind the project includes Thomas Kidd (previously Circe’s and Luna Springs); James Dye (Frank’s Bar, Bambi, Knave of Clubs and One Club Row); Paul Smyth (one half of the artists Something & Son and co-founder of Mission Kitchen and Makerversity, one of Somerset House’s long-standing creative communities); and Clement Ogbonnaya, pub trailblazer and founder of the Prince of Peckham and Queen of the South pubs.

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.
