South Bank Centre
The South bank Centre's wide-ranging programme - classical & world music, rock & pop, jazz, dance, literature and the visual arts - attracts the most diverse audience of any UK venue. South bank Centre consists of the Royal Festival Hall (newly reopened after its two-year transformation), The Hayward, Queen Elizabeth Hall (containing the Purcell Room), and the Saison Poetry Library. We also manage the Arts Council Collection and organises the National Touring Exhibition programme in venues throughout the UK. Situated on the south bank of the River Thames next to the popular BA London Eye, South bank Centre is at the heart of an arts quarter stretching from the Royal National Theatre and National Film Theatre to Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe.
