Theatre refurbishment at The Wimbledon Theatre, a Grade I Listed building, included reconstruction and re-tiering of the Upper Circle or Gallery to improve the sightlines. The work also included installation of new seating to improve audience comfort and a new lighting gallery.
The new tiered floor accommodates seating for over 300 people and replaces the original 'cushions-on-concrete'.
Detailed consultations with English Heritage and the local authority's Conservation and Safety Officer's were an important part of the programme.
