History In 1972, due to the lack of theatre accessibility in London's outer boroughs, the Greater London Arts Association proposed the idea of a touring theatre to Glen Walford. Walford proposed the use of a tent that would be transferred between parks around London. Later that year, the London Bubble was established and the troupe toured around parks in 22 London boroughs.
The Company originated Return to the Forbidden Planet for a production in a tent.
