  • <p>Odeon Leicester Square – Refurbishment – View to Foyers.</p> <p>With the flame retardant sheeting removed, this early-mid evening post-sunset shot provides a view through the opening into the foyers, thanks to floodlighting, and the image post-processing applied affords a further level of detail extraction, albeit at the expense of colour accuracy (however, that’s not the purpose of this photo!)</p> <p>The sloped ceiling below the circle stadia can be seen, with the paper face colour suggesting that British Gypsum SoundBloc plasterboard is being used. (Or perhaps the <a href="https://www.british-gypsum.com/products/gyproc-soundbloc-f?">“F” version</a> with “fire resistant additives.”)</p> <p>A worker is shown spraying a coating onto the steelwork, and the installation of services (e.g. ducting) is progressing.</p> <p>Taken October 2018.</p>
