🤓 Fun Facts
The building’s survival is a late-20th-century conservation story: a local campaign secured the structure and re-opened it as an arts centre rather than allow demolition.
Retaining the full nave volume—rather than subdividing it—makes the Landmark one of the largest uninterrupted arts spaces in outer southwest London.
