Located in Streatham Hill London, The Gaumont Palace opened on 14th March 1932 with 2,381 seats. It was designed in an Art Deco style by architectural firm of Charles Nicholas & J.E. Dixon-Spain. This print was created to celebrate The Gaumont Palace in all its original glory, just before it was seriously damaged by a German V1 rocket bomb and closed in 1944.
On the 18th July 1955 it re-opened as the Gaumont with a seating capacity reduced to 1,873. It closed again on 25th March 1961 with the last screenings being of Sophia Loren in "A Breath of Scandal"
The interior was re-constructed again and it was converted into a 36-lane bowling alley known as the Streatham Bowl which opened on 29th January 1962. The Streatham Bowl was then closed in early 2008 and plans were proposed for re-development. Demolition began in late October 2014. Luckily the facade has been retained and the tile-work restored to its original art deco splendour for its new residents to marvel at.
