City Hall is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority (GLA) which comprises the Mayor of London and London Assembly. It was designed by Norman Foster and opened in July 2002, two years after the Greater London Authority was created.
The building is located on the River Thames in the London Borough of Southwark. It forms part of a larger development called More London, including offices and shops. Next to City Hall is a sunken amphitheatre called The Scoop, which is used in the summer months for open-air performances; it is not, however, part of the GLA's jurisdiction. The Scoop and surrounding landscape were designed by Townshend Landscape Architects. The nearest London Underground and National Rail station is London Bridge.
