Description

London's West End Cinemas explores over 100 years of history in this comprehensive guide to the region's iconic cinemas. From the oldest survivor, the Cineworld Haymarket, dating back to 1928, to the many that have vanished over time, this book delves into the stories behind these beloved institutions. The West End's cinemas were renowned for their high standards and exclusive premieres, hosting press shows and attracting film enthusiasts from far and wide. Today, they remain a vibrant attraction, drawing visitors from around the world and locals alike. With interior and exterior views of most cinemas, as well as over 50 full-colour illustrations, this book is a valuable addition to the history of the West End. Featuring a mix of surviving and lost cinemas, including the iconic Odeon Leicester Square and Curzons in Mayfair and Soho, London's West End Cinemas will appeal to cinema enthusiasts, social historians, and anyone interested in architecture and design.
