Battersea Arts Centre
Battersea Arts Centre, Arts centre in Battersea, London, United Kingdom
The Battersea Arts Centre inhabits a grand Victorian building with red brick walls, Bath stone details, and multiple performance spaces across several floors.
Constructed in 1893 as Battersea Town Hall from designs by architect Edward William Mountford, the building obtained Grade II* listed status for its architectural merit.
The centre maintains an extensive program of theatre productions, music performances, and creative workshops that support emerging artists and local community initiatives.
Located seven minutes from Clapham Junction station, the venue implements a Pay What You Can system for many performances to ensure broad public access.
Following a significant fire in 2015, the Grand Hall reconstruction incorporated an innovative timber grid ceiling that enhances acoustic performance during shows.
