Thanks John. I added a picture the playbill for the opening night a couple of years ago. An in the text below that image you can see a link to the pictures I took of the interior back in 2008.

It was just something that popped up on Facebook advertising the Museum of London.

I thought " hello I know that place "

The interior is in amazing condition! Last time I saw inside that place was at the Curved Air concert in 1973 and it was looking decidedly tatty back then. Really pleased to see someone's restored it, it reminds me of the O2 Academy in Brixton.

It is - and whatever one might think about the tenants of the building, they have done a great job of preservation.
