London government rejects proposal to build the MSG Sphere

Despite its revolutionary technology and capacity to accommodate 21,500 attendees near the Olympic Park, Mayor Sadiq Khan argues that it would have an “unacceptable negative impact on local residents.”

Khan initially praised the Sphere for its cutting-edge technology when it was unveiled in 2018: “It’s great to welcome another world-class venue to the capital, to confirm London’s position as a music powerhouse and further boost our city’s thriving night-time economy.”

However, the proposed intense lighting was the main reason for the rejection. The Government claimed that it would “cause significant light intrusion which would significantly impair the outlook of neighboring properties, damage human health and significantly impair the general amenity enjoyed by residents in their own homes.”
