Misan Harriman will not seek another term as chair of the Southbank Centre and is to step down in autumn after a month of intense pressure caused by accusations he shared a conspiracy theory about the Golders Green attack.

Harriman, who has held the position since 2021, confirmed in a social media post that he would not continue as chair beyond autumn.
