As well as work on the Grade I-listed building, another £450,000 of Heritage Fund money will go towards redeveloping the whole South Bank site.
Under the scheme, the arts complex will be changed beyond recognition, with the Hayward Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room being demolished and rebuilt further west on the site. News 101 Finance 200 Sport 300 Weather 400 Travel 430 TV 460
