About

On June 1st 1999, the 20th Century Theatre entered a new era of its history as a venue for art and photography exhibitions, private receptions, product and book launches, fashion shows, fashion sample sales, fairs, and most importantly, a restored and liberated landmark. Once one of London's "ghost" theatres, it was saved from obscurity by the owner, Mr. W. Jones, in the1970's, who prevailed on the Secretary of Environment to take action. As a result the theatre is now a Grade II, listed, English Heritage building. The new venture is wholly in keeping with the varied history of the 20th Century Theatre for the last 150 years. Originally one of London's five patent theatres it became a penny-picture house, a professional theatre named the Bijou, a music hall, a repertory company called the Century Theatre and a theatre for amateur groups, namely the dramatic societies of Harrods, D. H. Evans and the BBC. In 1936 it was renamed the 20th Century Theatre and became the headquarters for the Rudolph Steiner organization who introduced Eurhythmy to England on the theatre's stage. In the 1960's it became an antique warehouse and could have faded into obscurity. Instead the 20th ‘Century Theatre begins a new chapter of its' history as a venue for exhibitions and cultural events highlighting the past of Kensington & Chelsea.
