About this space

Network Theatre is a small community-run theatre staging productions by in-house and visiting companies. Its defining quality is a compact, focused performance space.

Design: Theatre interior is a black-box space with black-painted walls, exposed lighting rigs and a compact stage area. Low ceiling and plain, utilitarian finishes keep attention on the performance.

Features: The venue includes a dedicated stage, a full lighting rig and a PA system, and it allows hosts to play their own music. The venue provides Wi‑Fi, a small bar, wheelchair access and volunteer front-of-house staff who manage box office and basic front-of-house duties.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking an informal, seated theatrical presentation or a rehearsal in a compact, technically equipped space.

What sets it apart: Theatre occupies a railway arch beneath Waterloo Station, giving the auditorium a tucked-away, low‑ceilinged character.

What guests say: Theatre has excellent sightlines and attentive volunteer front-of-house. The space is compact and characterful.

Performance · 70 guests · February 2025
Spacious stage, big back stage room to get ready, communication easy.
No labels on the tech desk so s we have to provide our own technician, it's difficult to learn a full desk within a 15 minutes meetings (labels were promised but not installed). There was a leak from the roof, the stage was wet when I got there.
