Soho Theatre Walthamstow

Soho Theatre Walthamstow, a Grade II-listed Art Deco landmark, faced acoustic challenges common to performance venues, including distracting echoes and muffled sound that can affect both performances and the audience experience

With a rich cultural legacy that has hosted legendary artists such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Johnny Cash, the theatre’s refurbishment presented an opportunity to address these issues. Enhancing acoustic quality was a key priority to ensure the space was fit for purpose, allowing every live performance to deliver maximum impact, clarity and enjoyment. Resonics delivered a sensitive, design-led acoustic solution that respected the building’s historic character while addressing key performance issues.

The treatments were carefully positioned to reduce reflections, control reverberation, and preserve the theatre’s architectural features, ensuring the visual identity of the space remained intact.
