Our Story

Who We Are

The Landmark Arts Centre is a vibrant cultural hub at the heart of Teddington, South West London.

Housed within one of the area’s most distinctive buildings, we bring people together through live music, comedy, exhibitions, art fairs, creative learning, community events and cultural experiences throughout the year.

As an independent charity, we believe that arts and culture should be accessible to everyone. Whether you’re attending a concert, taking part in a class, exhibiting your work or simply visiting for the first time, you’ll always find a warm welcome at the Landmark.

Our Building

Our remarkable Grade II* listed building was originally constructed in the 1880s as the Church of St Alban the Martyr. Following the church’s departure in the 1970s, the building fell into decline and faced the threat of demolition. Local people came together to save it and give it a new purpose.

Their vision became reality in 1995 when the Landmark Arts Centre was established, beginning the transformation of a neglected Victorian church into the thriving arts and community venue it is today.

The building remains at the heart of everything we do, providing a unique and inspiring setting for creativity, learning and community life.

Today, the Landmark hosts hundreds of events and activities each year.

From nationally acclaimed musicians and comedians to exhibitions, art fairs, workshops, classes and family activities, there is always something happening. Alongside our professional programme, we provide a home for local groups, choirs, artists, community organisations and creative practitioners.

Most importantly, it is a place for everyone.

The Landmark Arts Centre exists because of the people who support it.
