[edit] Query

From this article:

It seats 3,865 people in three auditoria

I'm only aware of one auditorium in the RFH, unless you count some more ad-hoc performance spaces like the Gamelan Room or the Ballroom. But the South Bank Centre certainly has three; besides the RFH, there is the Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Purcell Room. So I'm wondering if this is a confustication of the SBC and the RFH. -- Chris j wood 16:50, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

No response to this over last 15 days or so, so my guess is that whoever wrote the disputed text is no longer with us. Therefore removed pending better information. -- Chris j wood 01:59, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I think the three auditoria would include the Queen Elizabeth Hall, The Festival Hall and the Purcell room which are all run but the South Bank Centre.

The Festival Hall itself has only one Auditoria, though the Ballroom on level 2 is often used for performances. In the Original scheme there was provision for a second auditoria but this was never carried out.--Alistairtwiname 12:00, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Lion Brewery

About the Lion Brewery (London), which is not the same Lion Brewery as the one in Pennsylvania, on the site of which the RFH was built:

Something interesting about the South Bank Lion which once stood outside the brewery, and is now a prominent landmark on the South Bank:

[edit] WHY do we need reference to skateboards in this article?

I reverted the addition once, and now it has re-appeared without any comment here. Any support for its removal? Viva-Verdi (talk) 00:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
