BRITAIN’S largest arts organisation, London’s Southbank Centre, warned today that it may remain closed until April 2021 due to crippling financial pressures.
The cultural hub, which receives more than four million visitors a year and supports over 7,000 jobs, revealed that it will run out of reserves by September after being hit hard by the coronavirus lockdown.
Despite furloughing the majority of staff, the centre’s chief said that it was still facing a £5.1 million deficit by the end of the next financial year.
