History
The Yiewsley and West Drayton Arts Council was established in 1964 after the London Government Act 1963 came into force. Its aim was to embed a strong cultural identity for the local area and the wider London Borough of Hillingdon. It acquired the tenure for what is now Southlands Arts Centre in 1965.
Yiewsley and West Drayton Urban District Council had acquired the property in 1963. Previous owners included playwright and novelist Cosmo Hamilton (1870–1942).
