A new theatre for the “West End of South London”: 26th October 1927

Streatham Hill Theatre (SHT) was designed by W. G. R Sprague and W. H.
Barton, with a capacity of around 2800 and a stage the size of the London
Palladium. It formed part of Streatham’s theatre and entertainment offer when the area was known as “The West End of South London” and (due to the wealth of talent living in the area) as “The Beverly Hills of London”.

W. G. R. Sprague was also the architect responsible for some of the most beautiful and well-known theatres in central London.
