The Africa Centre was established in 1964 to represent a new Africa in the UK. A place to exchange ideas and provide advocacy and support to people arriving from Africa, it was located at King Street in Covent Garden.
In its 60th anniversary year the Africa Centre has moved to this dynamic new home in Southwark – a once relatively undistinguished 1960s office building that has been given new life inside and out by architects Freehaus. The thoughtfully designed exhibition, event and social spaces are complemented by an eye-catching use of the exterior as a billboard for African art and culture.
