Plans
In July 2012 it was announced that, due to the redevelopment of London Bridge Station, Southwark Playhouse would not be able to keep its home underneath the arches of the station. After a high-profile public campaign backed by Stephen Fry and Andy Serkis, 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 when the redevelopment is completed in 2018.
From 2013 to 2018 Southwark Playhouse is to be based at 77-85 Newington Causeway, in a 3-floor warehouse between Borough and Elephant and Castle tube stations. The temporary theatre, scheduled to open in May 2013, will house two performance spaces: a 240-seat 'Main House' and a 120-seat 'Studio'. There will also be a rehearsal space and a bar/cafe area.
