New Wimbledon Theatre, London

The New Wimbledon Theatre is located on The Broadway in Wimbledon, London in the London Borough of Merton. The venue is a Grade II listed Edwardian theatre built by theatre enthusiast J. B. Mulholland. The theatre was designed by Cecil Aubrey Massey and Roy Young and built on the site of a large mansion with spacious grounds. It may have been the only theatre in British history to have included a Victorian-style Turkish bath in the basement. The New Wimbledon Theatre opened on 26 December 1910 with a pantomime production of Jack and Jill.
