First designs have been released for the “centre for music”, including a 2,000-seat “acoustically perfect” concert hall for the London Symphony Orchestra, a pedestrian plaza, a restaurant, commercial space and smaller venues for jazz. Organisers hope to raise the entire funding for the venue – which will be on the current site of the Museum of London – from private donations. The City of London Corporation revived the project after it was ditched by the Government in 2016, saying it did not offer the taxpayer value for money.
