Save Streatham Hill Theatre for the community

The Streatham Investment and Growth Strategy 2019-30 sets out plans to explore opportunities for Streatham Hill Theatre as part of a wider regeneration strategy for Streatham that aims to:

• challenge perceptions and attract inward Investment to Streatham;
• diversify the town centre economy;
• provide space for growth and enterprise;
• improve the resident and visitor experience;
• and progress development opportunities.

It states that “Successfully restoring this building would bring significant improvements to the public realm and historic/cultural fabric of the area, as well as delivering against a number of other objectives presented in this strategy (e.g. Strengthening and Diversifying the Town Centre).”

It’s almost Christmas and Panto season is well underway. Meanwhile,
campaigners to save the Streatham Hill Theatre are working towards a time when the landmark building, known most recently for being a bingo hall, will be transformed into a fully-fledged and diverse entertainment space, with a panto of its own playing again to full houses.

Growing support for the campaign to save the district’s own Sleeping Beauty, this historic 1920s theatre, was most evident just a few weeks ago when around a thousand people gathered to press the case for saving and re-launching the venue as a multi-purpose arts and entertainment space for the benefit of the community.

The Friends of Streatham Hill Theatre are organising a flash mob photoshoot to save this beautiful and historic theatre and to show Beacon Bingo and Lambeth Council how much the space means to the local community. Hundreds are set to gather outside the theatre on Sunday 25th November at 3pm, where a photo will be taken at 3.15pm.

Today, 5th September 2018, The Friends have been told that owners have submitted a request for a review of the ACV status. We will respond in due course.
