This is a recent night photo.
The Compton organ has been installed in the theatre part of Watford Town Hall, Hertforshire (known as “The Colosseum”) for many years.It was restored to playable condition in 2008, but sees little regular use.
A 2009 photo is here.
Just realized that I posted on this cinema two years ago…my feelings remain the same…now being booked with the Curzons…they are not shy about booking a big box office picture ie a Bond as they are about the right art house product…do wish they were just a bit more fun!
Here is a new link to the photo posted on Jan 2, 2006 at 3:47pm.

This is a June 2008 photo.
This is a September 1983 photo of the Chelsea Cinema.
The Chelsea Cinema can be seen in this recent photo.
I love the way they have kept the same logo here for must be nearly 25 years now!
Here is a 2008 photo.
This is another recent photo of the Chelsea Cinema.
Great place to see a movie with a great appreciative audience. Made many visits here in the 80s
Here is another photo of the Chelsea Cinema.
a lovely large single-screen gem indeed, but very bland decor and what happened to the curtains ( mostly lost in multiplexes alas) and the gentle music while we wait? Banned because of the high art content? The NFT seems to do nicely without the awful popcorn and still have music. It would be nice to see some revival Big Screen programming mixed in with the Art.
Almost a gold standard of a single screen cinema, I used to live around the corner from here. All that’s missing is popcorn which Artificial Eye doesn’t seem to think would fit with the art crowd. Would also love to see some more flexible programming here ie some weekend revival series. Have seen a fair amount of pictures here in 15 years in London including Short Cuts, Billy Elliott, Celebrity, Crouching Tiger Flying Dragon, Sweet and Lowdown, Love and Death on Long Island
Here is a 1968 photograph of the by then named Odeon, still a single screen with 2,502 seats, showing the Russian version of “War and Peace”:
