DESCRIPTION

We have recently completed a comprehensive refurbishment to the Grade II Listed, Art Deco period Broadway Theatre in Catford, which has been at the heart of the community since 1932. 

The main improvements to the theatre included improved access and upgraded seating and bars. New mechanical, electrical and fire alarm systems have been installed to help improve the Council’s carbon footprint. The front of the building has also benefited from installation of new digital signage and upgraded CCTV systems throughout to make the venue safer for visitors. 

The completed Broadway Theatre scheme is an example of our experience of working with theatre and performing arts professionals, where our collaborative approach ideally suits these type of project challenges. This work will protect and preserve this heritage building for the community for many years to come.
