A new London Assembly report, out today, highlights the difficulties facing small London theatres. The report highlights a number of factors that challenge the viability of venues with 300 seats or less.
These range from insecurity of tenure (more than a third of managers surveyed for the report feared their venues were at risk of sale or change of use) to the urgent need to carry out upgrade works to the building - that the majority could not afford to undertake.
The report calls for the creation of an ambassador for small theatres to report to the Assembly, and in particular for greater co-operation between agencies (such as TfL, the GLA, West End venues and the small theatres themselves) when t comes to advertising and promotion, which most felt was a severely limiting factor.
We'll be doing a special report in the next few days (EDIT - now available here) - in the meantime we'd love to hear your thoughts - not just if you're in London - please add them in the discussion posted above.

Four of London's worst roads for air pollution pass through the poorest areas of east London, according to the Guardian.
The worst of the lot was the North Circular, which carries 60,000 vehicles a day. Near Walthamstow, four of the five most dangerous road pollutants could be found, including benzene and nitrous oxides.

Wilton's Music Hall, the last surviving grand music hall in London, has been awarded a grant of £1.85m by the Heritage Lottery Fund, which effectively sees it saved at last from dereliction.
The total cost of saving the unique venue is put at £2.6m, meaning that the HLF grant meets a significant proportion of the sum. The architectural heritage specialist architects, Tim Ronalds, can now begin work on saving the venue.
Due to complete by 2015, the work will allow the 40% of the building that currently lies derelict to be reopened, and make space for a learning and participation studio.
This exciting new chapter in the life of Wilton’s follows a chequered history that has seen this unique architectural gem transformed from one of London’s earliest music hall venues, home of the original Can Can dance and where stars like such as Champagne Charlie regularly appeared, to become for decades a Methodist mission that retained the name of the Mahogany Bar, serving tea and cocoa instead of ale and porter.
Further reincarnations as a rag warehouse and popular film location, it was saved from destruction in the 1960’s slum clearances by a campaign led by Sir John Betjeman. Having survived fire, two World Wars, riots and strikes, this grand Grand Music Hall is finally receiving the care and attention it deserves.

Prompted by Tim's recent visit to Arcola - just to share that we have a large pile of various bits of wood - offcuts etc, left over from our refurbishment last year and people are welcome to take some. It's been outside for a number of months, so we can't vouch for quality but there is masses. It's in the yard opposite Arcola, give me a call if you're interested - 020 7503 1645
