Ovalhouse, Performance theatre in Kennington, England.

The Ovalhouse Theatre occupies a position on Kennington Oval, featuring two performance spaces with capacities of 200 and 70 seats respectively.

The venue originated in the 1930s when Christ Church Oxford graduates established youth clubs focused on sports activities for South London communities.

The theatre emerged as a central platform for experimental theatre groups, supporting the development of Black, Asian, and women's theatrical productions.

The venue maintains a cafe-bar operating Tuesday through Saturday from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM, with extended hours until 11 PM during performances.

Field Marshal Montgomery's birthplace, marked by a blue plaque, stands adjacent to the theatre in the Grade II listed White House building.
