The Secombe Theatre (originally the Secombe Centre) was a theatre in Cheam Road, Sutton, Greater London.[1] The theatre was opened in 1983 by the Welsh comedian Sir Harry Secombe, who lived in Sutton for over 30 years, and was named after him.[2] The theatre went into administration and closed in August 2016. A petition to save Sutton's theatres was run in late 2016, gaining 1,350 signatures. In October 2022 Sutton Council announced its plans to sell off the Seycombe Theatre “the disused Secombe Theatre - will be sold and could be used for new homes, including affordable housing.”[3]
