Working with Soho Theatre and Waltham Forest Council in London, the restoration of this Grade II* listed cinema will form the centrepiece of a wider culturally-led regeneration strategy. The primary element is restoration of the auditorium to be a leading venue for live entertainment. The auditorium will also be capable of hosting pantomime, music and cinema events, with other parts of the building converted to host a diverse range of education and arts related activities. In totality, the site will become a vibrant hub of activity by day and night and a major contributor to the local economy.
