As part of the Open House Festival, Streatham Hill Theatre stands out as a significant example of London’s theatrical heritage. Built in 1928–29, it was the final theatre designed by renowned architect W. G. R. Sprague. Opening in 1929, the venue hosted theatre, opera, ballet and variety performances until 1962, with a temporary closure between 1944 and 1950 due to wartime bomb damage.

The Streatham Hill Theatre is a Grade II listed, 1929 Art Deco theatre designed by W.G.R. Sprague, featuring a prominent faience facade and a large 2,800-seat capacity. Streatham’s entertainment heritage continues, even as this former theatre now serves as a church.
Your feet sink slightly into the thick carpet as you move forward. The sound of the outside world fades. The soft fabric underfoot muffles every step so that even walking feels gentler slower more intentional. Light spills in through high windows and settles across the curved balcony and carved details that have watched generations come and go.
