Info from Venue website
The Woolwich Tramshed is a listed building in the heart of Woolwich. The building was originally a generating station to provide power for the local Tram system between 1916 and 1953. It has had many uses since then but has primarily been a place for gathering and entertainment and today it’s no different

Since 1973 the Tramshed has always been a place to gather and be entertained. It was run by The Woolwich Theatre Ltd, then by the Arts and Entertainment Division of the Royal Borough of Greenwich Council. It was always a well-known local venue for comedy, cabaret and music performances.

We took up residence in the Woolwich Tramshed as Greenwich and Lewisham Young People’s Theatre (GLYPT) in 2009, where we have been delivering our programmes and performances ever since.

In 2019 we changed our name from GLYPT to Tramshed to better reflect our work and to celebrate the Woolwich Tramshed as our forever home.
