Through the medium of old photographs, programmes and advertisements, this book provides a fascinating look at the history of cinema-going across the suburbs of London during the last century. Among the fifty historic cinemas featured are the Finsbury Park Astoria, the Maida Vale Picture House, the Shepherds Bush Pavilion, the West Ealing Kinema, the Woolwich Granada and Kilburn's Gaumont State. Illustrated with 100 images, this well-researched and informative volume will delight all those who have fond memories of visiting some of London's long-since vanished cinemas, as well as those that remain in some form or another.
