Queens (London)

 interesting place, Art Deco (architecture), block of flats, 1932_construction

Former Queens cinema site has been transformed to a new residential-led building in 2014.
The Queens Cinema opened on 3 October 1932 and was designed in the contemporary style by architects Stanley Beard and Clare. It was built for and operated by W.C Dawes' Modern Cinemas, a small independent circuit which had cinemas in the west of London.
It was taken over by the ABC chain on 19 February 1935 and remained under their ownership for the following fifty years. In 1975 it was converted into a three screen cinema.
Cannon Cinemas ran it between 1986 and 1988 but closed that year.
It was a restaurant between 1995 and 2007. When that in turn closed, the auditorium was demolished but the facade was kept.
