London’s Southbank Centre gains protected status after decades-long effort, honoring its Brutalist architecture and cultural importance.
London’s Southbank Centre has been granted Grade II listed status by the UK government, marking the end of a 35-year campaign to protect the 1960s Brutalist complex.
The designation, which covers venues including the Hayward Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and Purcell Room, recognizes the site’s architectural significance and cultural role despite past criticism calling it Britain’s ugliest building.
The decision reflects growing appreciation for mid-20th-century design and ensures legal protection against unauthorized changes.
