I saw the show Bookish here (which was brilliant) and it was my first time visiting the theatre. What a great place. the staff were so friendly and helpful and flexible. The show i saw actually took place in the cafe area which was a wonderful cosy space which was intimate and appropriate. They had a decent drinks menu and not too pricey for a theatre. Good transport as Clapham Common is not far away.

I recently discovered this venue (Ayanna Witter-Johnson album launch which was superb). So glad to revisit again but in another performance area to see the excellent Othello Remixed play. I also found venue staff friendly plus reasonable drink prices and comfortable common room area to chill out in too. Definitely visiting Omnibus again, very soon

Saved by the local community from the inevitable conversion into flats, this former library is now a hub for the performing arts in Clapham.
Live music, plays, poetry readings and workshops are just some of the diverse listings on offer. There's also a great little bar.

Comfortable theatre with nice drinks before or after the show. The location is a simple 10 minute walk from Clapham Common Tube Station with plenty of spots to stop if you want a bite to eat before or after the show.

Great little theatre. We saw "Hearing Things" and loved the place. It definitely has the feel of a 'small' theatre, but a really great one to pay a visit to. If you're in the area, it's well paying a visit.

This is a lovely little local theatre, I was lucky enough to accompany a group of children here on a school trip to see a performance of the selfish giant which was excellent and I highly recommend it. The only issue was as this is a very small theatre. Guessing approx 80 - 100 seats and the staff had overbooked so unfortunately little children had to sit on the floor for roughly an hour while they watched. As a parent I personally wouldn't have been happy with this. However to end on a positive It was lovely to see the performers meet and greet the children afterwards and answer any questions they had about the story they were telling.

Omnibus hosts drama, odd but enjoyable nights like storytelling, and music which is always high class from mainly young performers. It's relaxed, friendly and good value too. Well worth checking out.

Great local theatre offering a wide variety of plays, music and other art exhibits.

I ve attended several plays, all very high quality production in an intimate setting.

They have lots of programs for families and well. We went to A Midsummers Night Dream last year where we had to explore the entire Clapham neighborhood as part of the immersive theatre experience.

Very nice place to take your kids. The show we saw was great (the little prince), actors were just amazing and you could tell this was highly professional. The facility is all right, I've seen better places in terms of what's offered besides the show itself (eg. drinks and food), but this is honestly a minor issue.

We went to Omnibus Theatre to see a play recently and it was great. There is a little bar area serving drinks and snacks. The staff was friendly and attentive too. What a gem! It is definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic venue with friendly staff. Comfy spacious bar area, nice seats in the studio, extra points for large cubicles in the loo!! The show I saw (Country Music) was excellent and they seem to program a good variety of work. I've already begun booking Edinburgh previews!

Atmospheric theatre space and staff pleasant and helpful. The space is too small though; the lobby was so crowded we couldn't get to the loo. There is a bar but the layout results in one narrow corridor between the lobby and the auditorium so no chance whatsoever of getting a drink before the show. It's not all about the art so perhaps get some mystery shoppers to advise the board?

Fabulous local theatre w terrific production of Tony s Last Tape. Brings back all those years when Benn was vilified by the right-wing media, only to become a national treasure in his older age. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent drinks and food

I had no idea and so pleased and what a production! Saw Othello reimagined in a boxing ring with young Londoners with proper south London accents and maybe a few Northerners thrown in for good measure. A delight from start to finish.
