Just a stone’s throw from the Tate Modern, next to Southwark Bridge on London’s South Bank, Zakudia is cleverly designed to allow every guest to benefit from the panoramic Thames view. Smart and modern, comfortable but never stuffy, Zakudia is a bar to suit all moods. You can share pre-club cocktails, or a 'must get a bottle of this' after-work wine or even sip a beer with an affordable and truly tasty working lunch. Having a celebration? Why not let us feed your guests' appetites with a selection from our delicious canapé and party platter menus.
Evenings really bring Zakudia alive. With that cosy lounge feel, you can truly be at home however you behave - relax and watch The Thames amble by or grab a glass of bubbly and wear out the carpet dancing! With room for 150 people - the possibilities are endless! Zakudia really is the sort of "everyone’s welcome, everyone’s comfortable" place where you can have a vibrant evening, a leaving do, a snuggly lunch after a South Bank stroll or just take your mum for a steak sandwich with a twist after a trip to Borough Market – all with a stunning river view.

MEDIA
League Publications Ltd
League Publications Limited (LPL) was established in August 1990 to produce League Express, a weekly Rugby League Newspaper. The rationale was that due to the relative lack of mainstream media coverage for the sport it could sustain a weekly paper devoted to it. It proved to be successful overnight and was followed by the monthly Rugby League World Magazine and frequent forays into book publishing. In 2002 the group acquired rival publication - The Rugby Leaguer - to become the Leaguer and League Express.

Becker Photography
It’s important to feel at ease with the photographer you choose to photograph your brochure, wedding or family. Portrait sessions provide an opportunity to capture an individual, couple, or family creatively on camera, whether it is in a studio setting (which can be brought to your home or office) or a favourite park.
My aim is for you to relax in front of the camera and enjoy the experience. Rather than recreate standard shots or poses, I encourage you to be yourself and to be spontaneous so that your character shines through the photos and they look natural. Your photo will be a lasting memento of a moment in time. Let me ensure it’s a true reflection of who you are.

SPORTS CLUBS
Harlequins RL
Having played its inaugural season in 2006, Harlequins Rugby League club is under two years old. However it was not a start up as such due to effectively being a takeover of the London Broncos which existed between 1996 and 2005. Despite being the UK's only top flight league team based outside of Cheshire, Lancashire or Yorkshire it has made huge strides in the community, promoting both the sport and wider messages of positive community involvement and attracted prestigious sponsors such as Sports cafe and Workplace Solutions. Home matchdays played fortnightly between February and September are a colourful, family oriented day out and take place at the Twickenham Stoop in a groundshare with sister club Harlequins RU.
