Southbank Centre is a complex of artistic venues in London, England on the South Bank of the River Thames (between Hungerford Bridge and Waterloo Bridge). It comprises three main performance venues (the Royal Festival Hall including the Saison Poetry Library, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Purcell Room), together with the Hayward Gallery, and is Europe’s largest centre for the arts. It attracts more than three million visitors annually. Nearly a thousand paid performances of music, dance and literature are staged at Southbank Centre each year, as well as over 300 free foyer events and an education programme, in and around the performing arts venues. In addition, three to six major art exhibitions are presented at Hayward Gallery yearly, and National Touring Exhibitions reach over 100 venues across the UK. == Location == Southbank Centre's site, which formerly extended to 21-acres (85,000 m²) from County Hall to Waterloo Bridge, is fronted by The Queen’s Walk. In 2012 management of Jubilee Gardens transferred to the Jubilee Gardens Trust〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://jubileegardens.org.uk/about-gardens )〕 and the car park on the remaining land beyond Hungerford Bridge was sold in 2013, to extend the gardens as part of the Shell Centre redevelopment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.london-se1.co.uk/news/view/6844 )〕 The site is located next to the National Theatre and BFI Southbank, but does not include them. Rick Haythornthwaite is chairman of the Board of Governors of the Southbank Centre, and was appointed in January 2008. In April 2009 Alan Bishop, former chairman of Saatchi and Saachi International and Chief Executive of the Central Office of Information, took over the role of Chief Executive. September 2005 saw the arrival of Jude Kelly as Southbank Centre's Artistic Director. The closest Underground stations are Waterloo and Embankment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southbank Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
