Buy into London's latest culture spots, from East Bank and Olympia to Soho Theatre 2.0

A handful of new arts hubs are giving Londoners hope for the cultural health of the city amidst a backdrop of closing venues.

Projects on the horizon include a major revamp of Kensington Olympia and the ambitious East Bank quarter in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – which is set to deliver a second V&A and Sadler's Wells over the next year.

Few will base a flat purchase on proximity to the new Museum of London, but these sites do indicate where decision-makers are funnelling investment.

Here are ten homes for sale within striking distance of upcoming galleries, theatres and arts campuses, from Stratford to Southwark.
