Croydon Underground Art Gallery, by Daniel Silk on Apr 6, 2016 14:44:45 GMT 1, www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/14404968.Huge_underground_art_gallery_set_to_bring__museum_standard__exhibitions_to_Croydon/
"A huge underground gallery promised to host "museum-standard" exhibitions by world-renowned artists is set to open in Croydon town centre.
The 2,000sq ft subterranean space, in the bowels of a redeveloped Fairfield Halls, is planned to open in 2019.
The blueprints propose converting part of the theatre complex's underground car park into a "cutting edge" art space."
Could be an interesting space for future Urban Art Street Art shows?

Thanks Daniel,
Yeah still early days. Lot to sort out still. Going to be a great venue I really want to hold some world class urban exhintions in there. I'm looking at opening 2019 hopefully.
