Croydon Quaker Meeting House
was built in 1957 to replace an earlier one on the same site destroyed during the war.
Attached to it is the Adult
School Hall, a Grade II listed building designed in the Arts and Crafts tradition
and dating from 1908.
Both buildings are available for hire at reasonable rates to social, educational, business, religious, legal and other recognised bodies. They are suitable for such activities as arts and drama, dance, music, yoga, pilates, lectures, counselling, and other uses that do not conflict with Quaker principles. Please note that no smoking or alcohol are allowed on the premises. There are parking spaces for two vehicles per hiring. |
For further information and enquiries about bookings contact our Buildings Manager Peter Tayler on 020 8655 0169 or 07821 251 716 or email croydon.quakers@gmail.com |
