East Bank is one of the world’s largest and most ambitious new culture and education districts, with construction already well underway in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. World-renowned universities UCL (University College London) and UAL’s London College of Fashion are joining the global cultural brands of the BBC, Sadler’s Wells and the V&A to form this new centre of innovation and ambition. Spread across three sites, East Bank is at the heart of a growing cluster of commerce, technology, manufacture, retail, education and the creative arts delivering unprecedented new job opportunities in the digital age. It will bring an additional 1.5 million visitors to the Park and surrounding area each year, and more than 2,500 jobs will be created – generating an estimated £1.5 billion generation for the local economy.

Chelsea Fringe, the alternative festival of gardens and gardening, will return for its 11th year in 2022. It’s eclectic mixture of public spectacles, horticultural happenings and community celebrations runs for nine days each May, with hundreds of events taking place across London, the UK, and worldwide.

The V&A East project will create two new purpose-built sites in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London – a brand-new museum at Stratford Waterfront, and a vast new collection and research centre at Here East. Opening from 2023, both sites form part of East Bank, the powerhouse of culture, education, innovation and growth taking shape in the park as part of the Olympic legacy.(Pictured: O’Donnell + Tuomey’s visualisation of the V&A museum at Stratford Waterfront)

The landmark documentary series Why Do We Dance? aired on Sky Arts across Europe in April 2019 - an in-depth and up-close exploration of the motivations, provocations and stimulations that make the human race dance. Curated and presented by acclaimed British choreographer and dancer Akram Khan, the 5x60-minute series takes viewers on a global journey through the most dynamic, seductive and influential dance forms of our time, and profiles the artists redefining the artform for modern audiences. Crossing continents and decades, on dirt floors and dance floors, in public spaces and on the world’s great stages, Khan searches for answers to the question: Why do we dance?
