A "floating" glass pavilion will be created as part of plans to revamp London's Southbank Centre.

The glass box will become a new venue and rehearsal space after the overhaul of the Festival Wing.

A new building alongside Waterloo Bridge on the River Thames will house a poetry library, with restaurants and public spaces created in unused areas.
