Architecture Update: Bull Ring cinema
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AS THE South Bank Board, custodians of the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room, Hayward Gallery and Royal Festival Hall, continues its deliberations over how to improve the complex (latest idea: knock down the concrete walkways and employ a famous architect to tart up what remains), the British Film Institute is going its own way with a planning application to build Britain's first giant- screen Imax cinema on the Waterloo 'Bull Ring'. This is the hole in the ground that acts as a subway link between Waterloo Station, Waterloo Bridge and surrounding streets, and is used as a campsite by the homeless. The pounds 11.5m scheme has been designed by Bryan Avery, architect of the Museum of the Moving Image, also on the South Bank.
