  • The South Bank is the area in London on the southern bank of the River Thames near Waterloo station that houses a number of important cultural buildings/institutions. The South Bank stretches 2 square miles (5 square kilometres) along the shores of the River Thames. It was the site of the 1951 Festival of Britain, which proposed the name for this post-war urban regeneration project; the ancient name of the area is Lambeth Marsh and Lower Marsh. Presently it is London's fastest-growing section, a locale of modern cultural centre with numerous theatre, gallery, and concert halls. The legacy of the Festival is the Royal Festival Hall, now part of Southbank Centre arts complex. The area is split between the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark (for the part of the riverside which stretches towards Blackfriars Bridge; the riverside beyond that point is properly Bankside. ) Since then, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room were opened in 1967 (on the site of a former Shot Tower), The Hayward in 1968, and the National Theatre in 1976. Nearby are the BFI Southbank (formerly the National Film Theatre) and the BFI IMAX cinema. King's College London has a campus in the centre. Adjacent to the National Theatre is the distinctive white tower of the London Weekend Television (LWT) building, where (among other things) the long-running television Arts programme The South Bank Show is produced. Carlton Television and GMTV have also broadcast from the building since 1993, and it is now called The London Studios. Much of the area was subject to various large scale commercial development plans in the 1970s–1980s, which were successfully opposed by community groups. The renovation of the Oxo Tower and development of mixed housing developments and open space by community groups have encouraged the regeneration of the community in the area. To the west of the RFH, beyond the railway viaduct leading up to Hungerford Bridge, is a public open space called Jubilee Gardens, separating it from nearby County Hall. The County Hall houses many attractions including the Dali Universe, hosting the works of Dali, Picasso and contemporary artist Nasser Azam, a hotel, the Marriott London County Hall, The London Aquarium and numerous restaurants. By County Hall is the large Ferris wheel built to celebrate the 2000 Millennium, the London Eye. To the east of the South Bank is the adjoining area of Bankside, deriving its name from one of the medieval causeways built to hold back the Thames. Bankside is home to the Tate Modern art gallery and the reproduction of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and, near London Bridge, Borough Market. Beyond Waterloo Station, to the south, can be found the rest of the Waterloo area, including the historic market street of Lower Marsh and The Cut, home of The Old Vic. The South Bank is also regarded by many to be the unofficial home of British street skateboarding. The sheltered section beneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall has provided the skateboarding community of Britain and international skaters alike with ideal banks and stairs since the 1970s, and is conveniently located near other skatespots such as The Hayward. More recently, a skateboarding related art company, The Side Effects of Urethane, has provided Southbank Centre with several skatable sculptures in their 'Moving Units' project. In September 2007, a statue of Lord Olivier as Hamlet was unveiled outside the National Theatre, to mark the great actor's centenary.
  • Jižní nábřeží (South Bank) je oblast v Londýně na jižním břehu Temže, nedaleko od železničního nádraží Waterloo, ve které se nachází množství významných kulturních staveb a institucí. Území náleží pod správu obvodů Lambeth a Southwark. Zde se v roce 1951 konal Britský festival, u jehož příležitosti byla postavena budova Royal Festival Hall, nyní součást South Bank Centre. Následně v roce 1967 byly otevřeny Queen Elizabeth Hall a Purcell Room, v roce 1968 Hayward Gallery a v roce 1976 Královské národní divadlo. V jejich sousedství se nacházejí Národní filmové divadlo a Britský filmový institut, jehož součástí je i kino s vysokým rozlišením systému IMAX. Poblíž Národního divadla se tyčí zvláštní bílá věž budovy London Weekend Television (LWT), kde sídlí produkce nejdéle vysílaného uměleckého televizního programu The South Bank Show. Od roku 1993 odsud vysílají televizní společnosti Carlton Television a GMTV a tak je budova označována jako Londýnské televizní centrum. Navzdory plánům na vybudování rozsáhlých komerčních objektů v 70. a 80. letech 20. století bylo po nátlaku společenských organizací a rekonstrukci Oxo Tower prosazeno aby byl zachován různorodý charakter této oblasti včetně obytných jednotek a otevřených prostranství. Na západ od Royal Festival Hall za železničním viaduktem vedoucím k Hungerford Bridge je veřejný park Jubilee Gardens, který ji odděluje od blízké County Hall. Nedaleko odtud stojí nejvyšší vyhlídkové kolo na světě Londýnské oko, postavené u příležitosti nového milénia. Dále na východ stojí galerie Tate Modern. Za ní na Bankside se nachází replika Shakespearova divadla Globe a směrem na London Bridge Borough Market.

  • South Bank è una zona di Londra che si trova tra Waterloo Station e il Tamigi e che comprende alcuni importanti edifici e istituzioni culturali. Nel 1951 ospitò il Festival of Britain che propose il nome per il progetto di ricostruzione del sito urbano nel dopoguerra. L'antico nome della zona è infatti Lambeth Marsh e Lower Marsh. L'eredità del Festival of Britain è il Royal Festival Hall, ora parte del complesso architettonico del Southbank Centre. La zona è divisa tra i borghi di Lambeth e Southwark. Nel 1967 vennero aperti il Queen Elizabeth Hall e la Purcell Room, nel 1968 il The Hayward e nel 1976 il National Theatre. Vicino vi sono i cinema National Film Theatre e BFI IMAX. Il King's College London ha un campo situato nel centro. Adiacente al National Theatre vi è la caratteristica torre bianca sede della London Weekend Television (LWT) dove - tra le altre cose -- è stato prodotto il più longevo programma di arte The South Bank Show. Dal 1993 Carlton Television e GMTV trasmettono dalla torre bianca che viene ora chiamata The London Television Centre. Negli anni '70 e '80 la maggior parte della zona fu soggetta a veri piani di sviluppo commerciali che trovarono l'opposizione di diversi gurppi della comunità. Il rinnovamento della Oxo Tower, lo sviluppo di diversi alloggi e l'inserimento di spazi aperti incoraggiarono la rinascita del popolamento nella zona. Ad ovest del RFH, oltre il viadotto della ferrovia che conduce all'Hungerford Bridge, vi è un pubblico spazio all'aperto, i Giardini Jubilee, che separano South Bank dalla vicina County Hall. Nella County Hall vi è una ruota panoramica, la London Eye, costruita nel 2000 per celebrare l'inizio del nuovo millennio. Ad est di South Bank vi è invece la zona Bankside che prende il nome da una strada rialzata medievale costruita a causa del Tamigi. A Bankside vi è la galleria d'arte Tate Modern, la riproduzione del Globe Theatre di Shakespeare e, vicino al London Bridge, il Borough Market. Oltre la Waterloo Station, a sud, si trova il resto della zona di Waterloo, inclusa la storica strada azionaria di Lower Marsh e The Cut, casa di Old Vic.
  • サウス・バンク(South Bank)とはロンドンのテムズ川南岸の地域の名前である。 以前は倉庫街だったこの地区は、1980年代以降に開発が進み、特にここ数年、ミレニアム事業の一環としてロンドン・アイなど様々な施設が作られ注目を浴びている。コンサート・ホール、劇場、美術館、レストランがひしめいており、ロンドンを観光する上で外せないエリアである。
  • South Bank er et område sentralt i London, på sørsida av Themsen i bydelen Lambeth. Navnet South Bank på kvartalene nærmest Themsen mellom Blackfriars Bridge og Westminster Bridge er et resultat av jubileumsutstillinga Festival of Britain, som ble holdt her i 1951. De historiske betegnelsene på det samme området er Lambeth Marsh og Lower Marsh. Et varig minne om utstillinga er konserthuset Royal Festival Hall, og i åras løp har South Bank fått den høyeste konsentrasjonen av kultur- og kunstinstitusjoner i London. Foruten Southbank Centre - som Royal Festival Hall nå er en del av - finner en her Royal National Theatre, Hayward Gallery, kinoene National Film Theatre og bfi IMAX, foruten turistattraksjonen London Eye. Her ligger også det iøynefallende hvite tårnet til London Television Centre, der kulturprogrammet The South Bank Show blir produsert, og det karakteristiske OXO Tower. Universitetet King's College har en campus (Waterloo campus) på South Bank. South Bank betraktes av mange som arnestedet for britisk street skateboarding. Avsatsene nedenfor Queen Elizabeth Hall har vært en yndet plass for lokale og tilreisende skatere siden 1970-tallet. Nylig har kunstprosjektet «The Side Effects of Urethane» resultert i en park med bevegelige skulpturer for skating ved Southbank Centre.
  • Саут Бэнк — район Лондона, южный берег Темзы. К началу XIX века южный берег Темзы стал очень важным районом расширающейся городской застройки. Здесь возникло множество складских помещений, причалов, появились жилые массивы. В XX веке в районе появились музеи, выставочные залы и комплексы, такие, как, например «Темз Пат» (Thames Path) — пешеходная зона вдоль берега реки.
