Elleray Hall reprovision
The Elleray Centre is a newly opened community centre in the heart of Teddington.
The new centre on North Lane replaces the former Elleray Hall, over 100 years old and no longer fit for purpose. With a divisible main hall, two spacious activity rooms and a series of smaller consultation spaces ideal for one-to-one sessions with counsellors and therapists, the new centre has been purposefully designed for flexibility. Find out more on the Elleray website.
The old hall has been demolished and the site cleared for housing delivery.
Latest project update
Teddington's brand-new community hub opened on 24 February 2026. It replaces the former Elleray Hall, improving facilities and providing the foundation to further strengthen the local community.

Background
For the past 45 years, Elleray Hall has been a place where local people can take part in a range of activities run by Elleray Community Association. The services remain an integral part of our support for older people. However, the building in which they are based is increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain. Thousands of pounds is spent every year heating the non-energy efficient building.
For the last few years we have been developing new proposals for the centre. The vision for the new community centre is for it to be at the heart of the local community. It will continue to offer core services for older residents, but also allowing and encouraging a wider range of groups and individuals to use the centre, enabled by a more flexible design. We have also been developing proposals for a linked affordable housing scheme, first consulted on in February 2020.
The new community centre will be relocated to the nearby former depot and North Lane (East) car park, while the current Elleray site will be used for the housing scheme.
Planning
A planning application for the proposed community centre and affordable housing scheme was submitted in July and validated in August 2021. View details of the planning application.
The scheme was approved, subject to recommendations, at Planning Committee on 9 March 2022.
