Battersea Town Hall is a handsome, beautifully made civic building in southwest London, designed by E. W. Mountford in 1893 and Grade II* listed both for its architectural significance and for its important political role in the birth of the suffragette and labour movements in the early twentieth century. Since 1974 it has been home to the arts centre which is regarded as one of the most important incubators of new performance work in the UK.
Haworth Tompkins have been working alongside the Battersea Arts Centre team, the local community and theatre artists for over a decade on a series of ongoing, experimental, phased projects that are gradually transforming the entire building into a powerhouse of creative communal activity and an explicit record of the buildings vivid history.
