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]

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. [3] In 2020 it was used as a Covid-19 testing centre as part of NHS Test and Trace. [4]

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