How wonderful to see Gary Painter’s pictures. I used to attend the Odeon almost on a weekly basis at one time, and it’s great to see what a marvellous job the Church has done/is doing with the interior.
I went to the nightclub on a couple of occasions when the local NHS trust rented it for their christmas party. During this time, it was also used as the venue for a film fair for two or three years, and 8mm and 16mm films were shown in the auditorium. I appreciate this wasn’t on the scale of the CTA screening, but it WAS an instance of the place being used for what it was designed for.

Surprisingly when watching a movie it was a very intimate cinema, Ken’s picture reminded me how as a child I was facinated by the changing colour of the fading lights in the Spanish windows before the film started. This was as close as I ever got to an atmospheric interior a real hidden gem.

Many thanks to Ken for the excellent pictures both inside and out, looks like it was a really great cinema in its time. Having only lived in Ealing since 1998 I only remember this cinema as a church but since discovering this site last night took a picture of this cinema as it looked today, on my way into the office:

Hope this is of interest.
