The Albany, Arts centre and theatre in Deptford, London Borough of Lewisham, England
The Albany features a flexible performance space that accommodates 300 seated or 500 standing visitors in its modern architectural structure in southeast London.
The Albany Institute opened its doors in 1899 under the patronage of the Duchess of Albany to support the local community after the closure of Deptford dock.
The venue became central to the Rock Against Racism movement in the 1970s, hosting performances by Dire Straits, Squeeze, and Elvis Costello.
The Albany earns sixty percent of its operating income through various activities and receives additional funding from Arts Council England and Lewisham Council.
Following destruction by fire in 1978, the Albany was rebuilt and reopened in 1982 with Princess Diana attending the official ceremony.
