The Hayward Gallery in London was designed by the Greater London Council's architecture department for the Southbank complex. The infobox lists Norman Engleback, Ron Herron, Warren Chalk and John Attenborough, and the text names Engleback as team leader. Higgs and Hill built it, with Ove Arup & Partners as structural engineers. It opened on July 9, 1968. The article gives no construction dates.
The style is Brutalist, with exposed concrete, cast concrete staircases and glass pyramids on the roof. The article names no dimensions. Management passed from the Arts Council to Southbank Centre in 1986, and Haworth Tompkins added a glass foyer in a 2003 remodel.
The neon sculpture on the lift tower came down in 2008. The gallery closed in 2015 and reopened in 2018 after refurbishment by Feilden Clegg Bradley. The article says it was listed Grade II in 2026. Admission is charged and the roof terrace is closed. It gives no hours or prices.
