See the brand new Mountview Academy in Peckham as it nears the end of construction

As it prepares to open its doors for the first time next month, we have a sneak peek at the brand new Mountview Academy building in Peckham.

The arts academy, which was formerly located in Wood Green, will now be based at 116-120 Peckham Hill Street in south London following a multi-million-pound construction project.

The new building will feature two theatres – one with 200 seats and the other with 80 seats, able to house a variety of student, community and professional productions. There will be 22 rehearsal and dance studios (including a West End-scale commercial rehearsal space), broadcasting facilities, community spaces and a rooftop bar for panoramic views. Rehearsal and office spaces will also be available for hire.

The first students will arrive at the new Academy building at the beginning of September.
