Southwark Playhouse

Southwark Playhouse is a theatre in London with two venues, both located between Borough and Elephant and Castle tube stations.

[1] It has worked closely with teachers, Southwark Borough Council, businesses and government agencies to improve educational achievement and raise aspirations.

Its venue hire rates remain among the lowest and therefore the most competitive in London theatre, providing the opportunity to host the best of the emerging companies based in or visiting the capital.

After a high-profile public campaign backed by Stephen Fry and Andy Serkis,[9] a space was secured in the new station complex as part of a Section 106 agreement with Network Rail which will allow the theatre to return to its London Bridge premises in 2021.

[10] Since 2013 Southwark Playhouse has been based at 77-85 Newington Causeway, in a 3-floor warehouse between Borough and Elephant and Castle tube stations.
