V&A leads cultural revolution in Stratford

Tristram Hunt, Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum, reflects on the launch of the East Bank cultural centre in Stratford, which he describes as the most significant creative development in the capital since the Southbank of the National Theatre and Hayward Gallery was commissioned in the post-war years. The project has brought the V&A, the Smithsonian Institution from the US, Sadler’s Wells, the London College of Fashion, the BBC, and University College London together to form a “new campus of unbridled innovation”.
