Theatre History Book

November 2022 was the 93rd anniversary of the opening of Streatham Hill Theatre in 1929 and to celebrate we have reprinted John Cresswell’s fascinating book The Streatham Hill Theatre: The story of a suburban theatre.

This issue is a facsimile of the original book published in 2000, using some original covers left over from the original print run. The number of copies is limited by the available covers. You can buy your own copy at our online shop.

Online Publications

Note that we also have a number of publications available FREE online including our Statement of Heritage Significance and the Viability Study Summary.
