Broadway Theatre, Art Deco theatre in Catford, United Kingdom.
Broadway Theatre is a theatre and cinema venue in Catford, in the London Borough of Lewisham, with a main auditorium and a smaller studio space for different types of productions. The building is constructed in an Art Deco style and retains much of its original architectural character from the early 1930s.
The building opened in 1932, designed by architects Bradshaw Gass and Hope as part of the Lewisham Theatre complex. It holds Grade II listed status, which recognises its architectural value and protects it from major changes.
The Broadway Theatre draws audiences from across South London who come for theatre nights, comedy shows, and live music. Its location in Catford gives it a neighborhood feel that larger venues in central London rarely have.
The theatre is in Catford, close to two train stations and served by several bus routes, making it easy to reach without a car. It is worth checking the programme before visiting and asking about accessibility options if needed.
Behind the stage there are nine dressing rooms, which is a large number for a venue outside central London and shows it was built to host professional touring productions from the start. This makes it one of the few suburban London theatres with that level of backstage capacity.
