London Cinemas

The Grand Theatre, St John's Hill, Battersea, Wandsworth, 1989 Grade II listed opened in 1900 as The New Grand Theatre of Varieties music hall. In 1950 it became the Essoldo Cinema, which in 1963 became a Bingo Club until 1979. Closed when I took this picture it became a music venue from 1991-1997 before closing again. Following a failed attempt by Wetherspoons to turn it into a pub it is now again a venue with nightclub, live music and comedy.
