Raleigh Hall

Raleigh Hall is a building in Windrush Square, Brixton. It is now home to the Black Cultural Archives, after being derelict for many years.[1][2]

The building was originally two houses built in 1824, and is a Grade II listed building.[3][2]

The hall had been used by the Cinema Museum in the mid 1980s.[1] It had also been home to Klitsa Fashions, Omegas Fashion Dress Manufacturers, Arkwrights Ltd and the Raleigh Workshop.[1]

It was placed on the English Heritage Register of Historic Buildings at Risk in 1992.[1]
