South bank is adjacent to the River Thames. There are a lot of buildings such as ‘Tate Modern’ or ‘BFI art gallery’. Majority of people visit the South Bank to see many art galleries such as ‘the Hay Wood’ and ‘Tate Modern’.
If you would like to know more about the south bank then read on…


Tate Modern
Tate modern one of south banks art gallery. Not just an art gallery, it’s an international modern art, meaning they have different art displays from other countries and different galleries. Tate modern was created in the year
2000 and was discussed as a power station in the heart of London…
The Tate modern displays the national collection of international art. This is defined as art since 2900 and the international painting since pre-1900 is found at the national gallery. They have different types of special things in the exhibitions such as; special exhibitions, events and education and collection displays.
Tate modern is just not located In London it is also located into 3 different places, such as in Liverpool and Cornwall. As you can see Tate modern is geographically into three areas as you can see it is big.
As you can see it is near the Shakespeare’s globe and near the river Thames.
This is one of the events in the Tate gallery as you can see in the image. This event is called paper myths: Constructing ‘the other’ I believe this is about creating a sketchbook of ‘paper myths’ meaning creating myths in the sketchbook.
You don’t need skills to do this event according to the event. The booking price is £110.

Mayor of London

The Mayor of London is an elected politician who, along with the London Assembly of 25 members, is accountable for the strategic government of greater London. since 4 may 2008, conservative Boris Johnson holds the position. Previously, the position was held by ken Livingstone from the creation of the role on 4 may 200 until his succession by Johnson.The role, created in 2000 after the London devolution referendum, was the first directly elected mayor in the united kingdom, the mayor of London is also referred to as the London mayor, a form that helps to avoid confusion with the London mayor of the city of London, the ancient and now mainly ceremonial role in the geographically smaller central region of the ancient city of London. the mayor of London is the mayor of all greater London (including the city).

British Film Institute
The British Film Institute (BFI) is a charitable organization established by Royal Charter to:
Encourage the development of the arts of film, television and the moving image throughout the United Kingdom, to promote their use as a record of contemporary life and manners, to promote education about film, television and the moving image generally, and their impact on society, to promote access to and appreciation of the widest possible range of British and world cinema and to establish, care for and develop collections reflecting the moving image history and heritage of the United Kingdom.
This is where the BFL is located in London, which is near Tottenham court road.
The British institute has events such as the festivals; they show different concerts such has the ‘Chongqing blues’. They have different times for this event. They show the description of this event.

Royal festival hall
The Royal Festival Hall is a 2,900 seat concert, dance and talks venue within South bank Center in London. It is situated on the South Bank of the River Thames, not far from Hungerford Bridge. It is a Grade I listed building - the first post-war building to become so protected (in April 1988). The London Philharmonic Orchestra performs the majority of its London concerts in the hall.

The Globe
The globe is within the south bank and it was by shakespeare’s globe, this is very outstanding theatre and I believe it is one of the best theatre in London, best of shakespeare’s plays such as the Romeo and Juliet since it is in Shakespeare’s theatre. Their main event is mainly theatre based and I believe it is worldwide like in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and USA.
1949, Sam Wanamaker came to London for the first time. He looked for the site of the original site and he was disappointed not to find more of the memorial of Shakespeare.
So in 1970 Sam founded what was to become the shopkeeper globe and there is more in the background you will look forward to see this link: http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/abouttheglobe/background/
This is the map of the location of the globe, as you can see there I two lavations, one near south bank and one near sandwich. As you can see it is near the river Thames. And near these theatres there’re a lot of near underground Station.
This is one of the theatres event which is the Henry IV part 1 as you can see their play just Henry IV and has parts in it, they play is fully described in the theatre, and the quality is at its best more than what other theatres can do. I have been to one of the theatre I hope this will be much better than the one I have been two. Some times the theatre is very boring that would make me to sleep.

The Hayward
The Hayward gallery is within in south bank centre; with best attractions in the galley with outstanding art collection it’s a high percentage on the area. It is geographically located in central London, England. You can tell the percentage of this art gallery, it would be a luxury for you to put your display since it is the most famous artist in the gallery.
The gallery is built by Higgs and Hill Construction Company and opened in July 9th 1968.
The concept was designed with the queen Elizabeth hall and Purcell room.
This is where the Hayward is located, it is near this royal festival hall and it is near the river Thames, it call tell how important the location of the gallery is.
As you can see in the information, it is open in Mon-Thu, sat-sun from 10am-6pm; Fri 10am-10pm you can see the times is very tight.
This is one of the event of the Hayward gallery it is not also the art gallery, it is also some dance choreography, according to the description shown in this event, it explores how to dance and has been driving force of development of modern art, meaning it teaches you how to dance contemporary art.

To conclude my findings, the South Bank is very vibrant and there are a lot of amazing creative and media institutions and evenets happening in the area. There are major displays and art work created by underground artists and professional artists. The area is essential for show casing artistic talents. The BFI, Hayward and Tate exhibit a wide variety of displays and shows. I feel so amazed at how the South Bank is layed out and how it has inspired me with my own creative artwork.
