The theatre’s interior will be designed by Haworth Tompkins
Haworth Tompkins has been appointed to design the interiors of the first major new London theatre since Denys Lasdun’s National Theatre opened on the South Bank 45 years ago.
The appointment was made by Trafalgar Entertainment which has just signed a 70-year lease as tenant of the new theatre, in a deal said to be worth £100m.
The 1,575 theatre will be part of the £1.3bn redevelopment of the Olympia exhibition centre designed by Heatherwick Studio and Spparc.
