Sutton Life Centre

Sutton Life Centre is a community centre in Sutton, South London. It is an £8 million facility designed to make youths more streetwise. Its key feature – the lifezone – is a virtual street, a room with screens on all walls showing real-life scenes from Sutton's streets. It also has a library, a cafe, a climbing wall, and community, eco, sports, youth and media zones.[1] It tries to encourage community engagement and involvement.

It was opened on 27 October 2010 by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.[2] In a poll by the Sutton Guardian more people thought it would be unsuccessful rather than successful.[2]
