Immersed in London history
Located in Southwest London, our building has been part of community life for more than 125 years. Originally Battersea Town Hall, it has hosted suffragette meetings, the voting in of John Archer as the first Black mayor of a London borough, and galas supporting survivors of the Titanic. When the building faced demolition 50 years ago, the community came together to save it, and Battersea Arts Centre was born.
Events that give back to the Community
When you choose BAC, you're supporting an independent charity and cultural organisation at the heart of the local community. Income generated through event hires helps maintain this extraordinary historic building and directly supports year-round artistic and community programmes.
