The Scoop, Outdoor amphitheatre near Tower Bridge in London, United Kingdom
The Scoop is an outdoor amphitheatre on the southern Thames bank with tiered seating for roughly 1000 visitors. The sunken structure creates natural stadium seating with clear sightlines for all types of performances.
The amphitheatre was designed by Townshend Landscape Architects and opened in 2002. Its construction features a large stainless steel tube element created by A. Fisher Manufacturing.
The venue hosts the London Bridge City Summer Festival from June to August, where films, live music, and theatre shows draw visitors throughout the summer season.
