caption_attribution_description: Streatham Hill, Streatham. Opened in 1929, it closed in 1962 and was converted to a bingo hall. In 1944 it was hit by a V1 flying bomb and wasn't re-opened until 1950.
context_page_description: Streatham Hill Theatre is a historic theatre in Lambeth, England. It was built in 1928–29 and was the last theatre designed by W. G. R. Sprague.
  Opening in 1929, it staged theatre, opera, ballet and variety until 1962, apart from a period between 1944 and 1950 when it was closed due to bomb damage. In 1962 it closed to theatre, reopening as a Mecca bingo hall. Bingo continued under several operators until 2017.
  It was Grade II listed in 1994 as "an unusually lavish example of a theatre built in the short-lived revival of building in 1929–30; as a suburban example of this date the building may be unique."
  The building was added to the Theatre's Trust Theatres at Risk register in 2018.
  Also in 2018, London Borough of Lambeth granted Asset of Community Value status to the theatre.
  As of 2018, the building is out of use, apart from a small slot machine lounge, and there is a campaign to save the theatre for the community, led by the Friends of Streatham Hill Theatre.
