Continuously showing movies since it opened on 7th November 1914, the Hyde Park Picture House now concentrates on art-house films for the large student population in this suburb of Leeds.

It has a large gay and lesbian following which is central to the annual Leeds Film Festival.

The Hyde Park Picture House is a Grade II Listed building.

The official histories of this theatre state that it was converted from a 1908 hotel in 1914, which I find hard to believe. The structure in 2007 presents NO evidence that it was ever anything but a cinema. I would have expected to see blocked up windows and doors, but there is no trace of this in the external walls of the auditorium. If it was a hotel before, then it must have largely been demolished. Internally too, there is no evidence that this was ever anything but a purpose built cinema.
