The front of our building, a Victorian town hall, with pale stone on the ground floor, red bricks on the first floor with pale columns and outlines on the windows, and a balcony around the roof. Our red, blue and yellow sign is at the front. Bollards and lamposts separate the pavement from the road. In the background the sky is blue with a few clouds.

 

We are Battersea Arts Centre and we are a home for extraordinary things.
