Went to the Bridge House in Penge on Monday which has a small (40 seater) theatre upstairs. Thoroughly recommend the perfomance of 'It's a wonderful life'


Still tickets for Sat and Sunday https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/69219


Sadly, even though I am on the mailing list, only made it to the Brockley Jack once in my life and never seen theatre at EDT or the Hob.


A zillon years ago went to the Latchmere.


Be interested in views of others.

Just to give a huge thumbs up to theatre503 in Battersea - so easy with the orange line to Clapham junction now.

Again this is not an amateur theatre, but instead an award winning theatre that is

The smallest theatre to ever win an Olivier award and had two West End transfers this year.


2015 is looking fab including the debut play from Phoebe Eclair-Powell, a local girl (some might make a link from her surname.


And the Latchmere where the theatre is based had had a makeover and a change of management - now owned by the same guys who own the Rosendale in Dulwich.

There's a great comedy show at the Comedy Museum theatre in Bloomsbury starting 3rrd February. Starring Jonathan Hansler and Clive Greenwood it's called the Afterlife of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. I saw an early draft version of this and it's hysterical. The full length show should be a scream.

Not a pub but hey, small local theatres (with bars): the Blue Elephant in Camberwell, occasional theatre companies in residence at the Bussey building in Peckham (including some really fantastic'theatre local' by the Royal Court), the Southwark Playhouse near Elephant (brilliant) and the Ovalhouse.

Thanks for the excellent suggestions and the further recommendations for the Bridge House - despite the seats!


Went to the White Bear years ago when a friend of a friend did a production and similarly the Blue Elephant more recently.


When I lived out in the sticks we regularly used to see am dram - usually a Stoppard or similar play and it was always entertaining. With that in mind in the last century I went to West Norwood Theatre, which I understand they are always trying to save http://www.southlondontheatre.co.uk/newSLT/


Also an odd theatre under the arches at Waterloo station.

    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
