120Today, a hundred is taken to be equal to 100. However, before the 18th century, it could mean other values, depending on the objects being counted. The value of 100 was referred to as a small hundred, while a Great Hundred referred to the value of 120. It is an important number for Battersea Arts Centre.

Built in 1893, Battersea’s former Town Hall celebrates its 120th birthday this year.

Thanks to its supporters, Battersea Arts Centre has secured the building for another 120 years.

So THE GREAT HUNDRED celebrates the 120 most radical and exciting figures across the building’s 120 year history.

Tonight we are unveiling the next 18 names of THE GREAT HUNDRED. We are working with our community, the council, local groups and you to decide on the final names to complete the list.

widely from New York to Sri Lanka with the latter enjoying two runs at the

National Theatre.

PAIRED WITH

JESSE RUST

Jesse Rust designed our iconic mosaic bees. There is much debate about why bees were chosen for the final design: they may be a reference to the lavender fields that Lavender Hill takes its name from, to the double Bs of Battersea Borough, or to the industriousness of the workers who built and served in the Town Hall.
