Unanimous planning permission has been granted for Troubadour Greenwich Peninsula, a new 3,000-capacity performance venue designed by Haworth Tompkins.
The theatre will comprise two flexible 1,500-seat auditoriums, allowing for simultaneous productions and a wide range of performance formats. The project is Haworth Tompkins’ second collaboration with Troubadour, following the completion of Troubadour Canary Wharf which opened in October with the world premiere of The Hunger Games: On Stage.
Located within Greenwich Peninsula’s evolving cultural district, the building will sit alongside destinations including The O2, Design District and Ravensbourne University, contributing to the area’s growing mix of cultural, educational and commercial uses.
The design draws on the practice’s experience in creating adaptable cultural buildings on sites awaiting long-term development, using a circular approach to construction with fully demountable systems and soundproofed, technically advanced theatre infrastructure.
