Many members have expressed in recent months the loss of our social hub: the SLT Bar. Many of us miss being able to catch up with old friends, see who needs help on upcoming productions and generally setting the world to rights over a beer or a glass of wine. BarCom and GC have been working to secure a venue local to West Norwood so that we can have a monthly social in a private room or area of a bar, giving […]

The first of these will be from 2-4pm on Sunday, February 21, and if you’re interested in finding […]

The South London Theatre is one of the most friendly amateur/ repertory theatres in London. More than twenty shows a year says it all! We are currently not in our usual venue in West Norwood, but have been re housed in Stanley Halls, South Norwood, for at least the next couple of years. It’s an amazing historically interesting venue. Two excellent theatre spaces. However, we have a bit of a dilemma, many new comers who visit our site, are only […]

Those of you based in West Norwood will have seen that the Old Fire Station is now currently being protected by Camelot Security Services.

The break-in was discovered by Bryon Fear & Charlotte Benstead on the morning of December 1st, when Bryon realised he could not gain access to the building. They alerted the police immediately who responded swiftly and arrested the intruders within […]
