Wheatsheaf Hall

The Wheatsheaf Hall is a former Congregational Church mission hall in Vauxhall, south London. It is a grade II listed building. [1] [2]

The earliest reference of the building was a small villa in 1880, which was brought by Mr. William Sproston Caine. As social/religious meetings and societies flourished, a new building was designed by Robert Williams and later built by the Higgs and Hill Construction Company. [3]

It opened in 1896 as the Wheatsheaf Congregational Church Mission and was used as a mission hall and public library until 1939. In 1980 Lambeth Council started the process to turn it into a tenants' hall and community centre. It opened in 1988 as Wheatsheaf Hall Community Centre. [4] In 2020 it was used as a COVID-19 testing centre as part of NHS Test and Trace. [5]

It is also used a venue for music charity "In Harmony" and is often rented out for private use.
