Work on the £1.1bn East Bank project in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park began on Tuesday, with London Mayor Sadiq Khan urging locals to be proud of "the biggest investment in our city in culture in more than a century". The site, which will include the V&A, BBC, Sadler's Wells and the London College of Fashion, is expected to generate 2,500 jobs and add £1.5bn to the economy.
