Located on the corner of Clarence Road and Lower Clapton Road, opposite the northern end of Mare Street. The Hackney Electric Theatre was opened by December 1914. In 1918, it was renamed New Clarence Cinema. Later known as the Clarence Cinema, it was closed in 1924. The building was converted into a shop.
In the 1990’s, the building had been converted into offices used by a housing association. Around 2001, it was converted into flats. In 2008, the ground floor front of the building was in use as a betting shop known as Better Bet.
