Queen Elizabeth Hall, Concert hall in South Bank, London, United Kingdom.
Located within the Southbank Centre complex, Queen Elizabeth Hall features concrete surfaces and geometric shapes, exemplifying the brutalist architectural movement of the 1960s.
The concert hall opened its doors in 1967 as part of a larger initiative to revitalize the South Bank area following the post-war reconstruction period.
The venue presents over 200 musical performances annually, ranging from classical orchestras and contemporary ensembles to experimental compositions and international artists.
The hall contains 1,000 seats arranged in a configuration that creates direct sightlines to the stage from every position in the auditorium.
The building incorporates specialized acoustic engineering that enables sound to travel evenly throughout the space without electronic amplification.
