Thea
Thea was built as part of a former Town Hall and is considered one of the most sophisticated and complete town hall complexes in London.
The complex opened in 1939 to great acclaim. It consisted of two main blocks which contained administrative offices and the council chamber, and two public assembly halls for entertainment and social activities.
The design of the building is inspired by the architecture of Dutch modernist architect W.M. Dudok, and, in particular, his Hilversum Town Hall. It is an asymmetrical composition of stacked volumes with clear lines and a clearly definable horizontal emphasis.
The main elevations are faced with orange hand-made bricks, laid in a special bond to create a decorative striped pattern. There is ample breakout space, all with unique features of its time, the space is a fantastically preserved building fit for filming, photography and events.
