The complex was built in the early 1960s over wharves, stores and small streets. Today it keeps its tower, though the lower wings were demolished from 2015 for the offices and homes of Southbank Place, which bring a more varied use to this large site. The sheet also draws the Waterloo Underground Station escalators, the Hungerford Bridge railway viaduct, Royal Festival Hall stores in the railway arches, an ambulance station and G.L.C. Education offices on temporary huts. The G.L.C. Education label records the 1965 reorganisation that replaced the London County Council with the GLC and the London boroughs. It is the latest alteration identified, and it indicates an amendment of 1965 or later. The plan was made to assess property and fire risk, and it was updated with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1959, with a 1959 copyright date, and no later correction on it carries a date. The key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Belvedere Road, York Road, Concert Hall Approach and Sutton Walk.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371768500571,"sku":"P-9-001213","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001213a_bbdf0b00-d745-4a4d-9aff-d24dc88d7443.jpg?v=1792149253"},{"product_id":"goad-london-239-se1-south-bank-royal-festival-hall-hayward-1965-c1971-map-p-9-001216","title":"Goad London 239—SE1—South Bank—Royal Festival Hall—Hayward 1965 (c1971) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 239 [South Bank: Waterloo Bridge, Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Hayward Gallery]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 239, covers the South Bank arts complex (SE1), with the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, Hayward Art Gallery and National Film Theatre drawn in detail beside Waterloo Bridge. The Festival Hall was listed Grade I in 1988 alongside Coventry Cathedral, and they were the first post-war buildings to be so protected. The Shell offices shown south of Belvedere Road are the former Downstream Building, which has since been converted into the Whitehouse Apartments, marking a shift from corporate employment to residential use. This reissue supersedes an earlier June 1889 edition marked obsolete. That edition shows the Royal Festival Hall, National Film Theatre and Shell offices but leaves the arts-complex plot open. The plan was made to assess property and fire risk, and it took pasted overlays as uses and buildings changed. The Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room opened in 1967 and the Hayward in 1968. Their detailed inclusion is the latest alteration identified, and it indicates an amended state of about 1968 or later. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in March 1965, with a 1965 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971.
