RADA Studios (formerly The Drill Hall)[1] is a theatrical venue in Chenies Street in Bloomsbury, just to the east of Tottenham Court Road in the West End of London.
[5] When the London Regiment was broken up and the battalions reallocated to other units in August 1937, the hall became the home of The Rangers, The King’s Royal Rifle Corps.
[3] In 1947, following another re-organisation, the unit based at the drill hall was renamed The Rangers, The Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort’s Own).
[8] In January 2012, RADA acquired the lease of the venue from Central London Arts Ltd, who had run The Drill Hall for 30 years.
[3][9] RADA's objectives in acquiring the lease included the possibility of hiring out the central London rehearsal and studio space as a "further opportunity for income generation and sustaining the charity as it continues into its second century of operation.
