A sunken oval amphitheatre made of grey limestone, the Scoop is a great outdoor area to the west of City Hall.
The Scoop amphitheatre
Room for a 1,000 people
The Scoop is a popular space on a sunny day and home to a variety of events through the year. It can be accessed from the riverside walkway by a curving ramp and by steps.
There is an emergency exit from the City Hall cafeteria on the lower ground floor into the Scoop, but no entry for the public from the Scoop into City Hall.
More London manages the Scoop
More London are responsible for the Scoop; it is not under the GLA's jurisdiction. In the summer, More London put on a programme of free entertainment in the Scoop, such as lunchtime music, film showings and performances of plays for children and adults.
