Streatham Space Project – Opportunity and Open Event

From Lambeth Culture and London Square:

London Square, with support from the London Borough of Lambeth, are looking for an enthusiastic organisation to take over the lease on the Streatham Space Project venue. This is an exciting opportunity to bring the space back to life for the benefit of the local community and other stakeholders.

We are seeking a venue operator with vision, a genuine commitment to community engagement, professionalism and relevant experience.

On 19 March, between 3-6pm, we will be hosting an open house event at the theatre. 

Parties who are interested in submitting a proposal, are invited to come and see the space and understand if it is suitable for them.

Members of the local Streatham community are also invited to come and share their thoughts on the future of the space.

Feedback from that session will be shared with interested parties so London Square and the council can ensure that when parties respond to the tender, they’re aware of the interests of the local Streatham community. 

If you’re interested in joining the open house please sign up for a session here.

Tours of Streatham Hill Theatre 16 October 2025

The Streatham Festival team approached the current owners Ruach City Church through the auspices of local MP Steve Reed’s office to ask for access to the theatre for this year’s (2025) Streatham Festival. There was the possibility for a concert, a comedy event and guided tours.

After a period of negotiations regarding content, costs and arrangements, only the tour is able to go ahead. Organised by our local open-access, volunteer-run, non-profit Streatham Theatre Company, there will be two tours on Thursday 16th October. Tours are free, but tickets are required from STC as numbers are limited.
