The 5 Majestic’s in this group were at Wembley (1929), Staines (1929), High Wycombe (1930),(all these three were Atmospheric style cinemas), Mitcham (1933) and Woodford (1934) were both Art Deco style. Only the Woodford Majestic survives today, operating as the Odeon Woodford.
Apparently in a 2007 repaint of the marquee, the painter mispelt ‘Theater’, and it has never been corrected. The theatre is officially known as the Lory Theatre.
