Three-year scheme brings previously closed spaces back into use

Alexandra Palace’s theatre and east court space have reopened at the north London multi-purpose venue after a £27m three-year refurbishment, backed by National Lottery funding and Haringey council.

The east court was once a large exhibition space, while the 19th-century theatre closed to the public more than 80 years ago.

Architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios oversaw the revamp of the building, which first opened in 1873 and was the original home of the BBC in the 1930s.
