Misan Harriman to step down as chair of Southbank Centre

Misan Harriman will step down as chair of the Southbank Centre in autumn, concluding his tenure after a period of significant pressure. Harriman confirmed his decision via a social media post, stating that he had decided to leave the position "way before this madness" began. The accusations that led to the intense pressure involved claims that Harriman shared a conspiracy theory related to the Golders Green attack. Harriman has held the position of chair at the Southbank Centre since May 2021, having been appointed to the role at that time. His departure marks the end of his term, which will conclude in the fall.
