    Most beautiful wedding venue. The space is so big you can just about fit in anything you can imagine. Will be recommended for big functions but Im sure they can cordon off the space to also cater for smaller functions. Quick conversion from catering for the ceremony to the festive celebrations.

    I love this venue, stunning set up, mosaics and character everywhere. Decent cafe you can hang out in. Relaxed performance set up, though type of performance was less likely to enable that in the space.Great variations of programming and regular pay what you can. Been going off n on for years. Bus stop meters from entrance.

    I visited the art centre for this show called The Talent which was one of the memorable experiences, the performance by Action Hero and Deborah Pearson. On the ground floor the place has a small bar and snack counter with a sit out around it, which makes it a fine place to meet like minded people and artists post performances too.

    Used to be truly great -- seems to have completely given up on producing / receiving touring theater in favour an endless list of 'in progress' pre-festival elsewhere activities. Great if you want to be a test group I guess...less so if the finished article is what you crave. I see the need for this but surely some split of in progress and other work could be programmed? At least the bar is excellent, and the staff wonderful.

    Terrific multipurpose venue. Great event there this morning for Wandsworth Enterprise month. Eclectic decor throughout the building whilst respecting needs of contemporary businesses and arts patrons. Fun venue.

    Attended the Pied Piper Musical last night and I was so impressed from the entry to the helpful staff, performance, presentation and overall vibe of this magnificent venue. Relaxed performance in a beautifully preserved and presented space. Got to talk to the sunny reception and marketing teams who promise a myriad of marvellous performances book to be taking place and great to see an eclectic mix of shows going forward. Only downside was that they'd run out of cheese for Pizza at the end so went for local Chinese. Love that they venue lets you pop in for a drink even if you're bit seeing anything . Looking forward to revisiting this gem in Wandsworth.

    I was there for a children'sTime Queet VR session . It was not at all children friendly - nor was it fun . So we didn't stay, and we did let the staff know it was wrongly advertised.

    It is a very spacious place, great for variety of events. I have participated in trade event there. Facilities are well kept, staff was helpful and I was able to find my way in and out.

    Newly renovated arts centre right by Clapham Junction station. It’s a hotbed of smaller but excellent theatre and performance shows but also has a large hall for big hitters. The bar is great and the overall atmosphere of the building is incredible. You can feel the history but also have a sense of latitude in creating something new and exciting. Wish I lived nearby.

    Loved using BAC co-working space for the month. Great space, good WiFi, different areas for phonecalls, quiet thinking and meeting rooms. Coffee and tea included in the price. Friendly team led by Will. 10min walk from Clapham Junction

    Saw this amazing building and wanted to find out more so talked to the reception. I asked if it was an exhibition space? The man replied and said we are not a gallery or exhibition we just do theatre to which he kept repeating this so I said 'productions? As you have events in the evening it says' and he replied 'Can you let me finish talking ' and I replied saying but you keep saying theatre without explaining what theatrical things you do? Theatre is a very wide statement I mean are you showing ' a midsummer night's dream?' sorry if I seemed unreasonable but I came in to learn about this beautiful space. Sorry I was interested to have a conversation.

    Great evening out to see the Sleeping Beauty and the Beast panto. Great selections of drinks and crisps at the bar. The children absolutely loved it. Will be on the lookout for next year's panto at Battersea Arts Centre.

    Super cool chilled out venue. Like the small theatre, but really appreciate the varied and eclectic shows that BAC put on. 👏👏

    We were staying at a friend near by and hoping to watch the England world cup football match but found all the pubs full. We went into the arts centre to find friendly bar staff and an open yet cosy atmosphere with comfy seats and a view of the TV. Really enjoyed the visit

    What a delightful place. Went to see a pay what you can play and wasn't disappointed. Tackling many major topics, I would recommend seeing a show. Feels quite intimate in the theatre spaces.
