Bishop, who has held his post at the COI for five years, will remain until January to ensure a smooth transition to his yet-to-be-appointed successor.
He replaces Michael Lynch at the Southbank, taking responsibility for the 21-acre cultural centre, which comprises the Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and The Hayward.
Bishop said: ‘I am passionate about taking on this important role at London's and the world's leading art venue.'
