Victoria Hall, Ealing’s largest indoor public venue, is in danger of being lost to the community after more than a century.
The Victoria Hall is the large public building behind Ealing Town Hall. It was built in the 1880s with money raised by public subscription for use by local people and is owned by a charitable Trust. Ealing Council wants a developer to absorb it into a new hotel. Community use would be guaranteed on a restricted basis for only 10 years. It would then inevitably just become part of a commercial operation. Seven Ealing community groups have formed the Friends of the Victoria Hall, to save the building for the community as a performing arts, exhibition and meeting space. .
