East Bank

East Bank is the UK’s latest cultural quarter at the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Opening in Autumn 2023, East Bank is a unique collaboration between cultural institutions, world-leading universities, and the people of the Olympic boroughs.

Comprising V&A East, Sadler’s Wells East, UAL’s London College of Fashion, UCL East (University College London), and the new BBC Music studios, East Bank is the place where entertainment, inspiration, and discovery happens – and is open to everyone who visits, lives and works in east London.

East Bank is committed to ensuring local residents can access career and employment opportunities within their organisations and positively shape the offer, ensuring it represents East London’s rich cultural diversity.

  • East Bank x GGH

    GGH has been working with East Bank partners to connect them to local talent through the partner's New Talent Future Leaders programme. This partnership has delivered benefits not just for residents looking for career opportunities but for the organisations themselves as they strive to diversify their workforces and create more inclusive cultures. As partners open their doors the wealth of employment opportunities is expected to rise and to support this, the partnership will be looking to further solidify their relationship with the GGH, as their key employment service for accessing entry-level talent.

    As interest and excitement around East Bank grows, we are keen to encourage new and promote existing employment opportunities at East Bank, so they are visible and accessible. As a resident of East Bank and a space dedicated to providing skills and employment opportunities to local young people, the Good Growth Hub continues to connect local talent with skills and employment opportunities at East Bank.
