Odeon Islington

Photograph taken January 1937. I have always been of the belief the building dated from 1853. Having lived a two-minute walk from the Odeon, my parents, my sister and I were regular visitors during the 1950s. My sister and I also attended the childrens' cinema club here every Saturday morning. Manager at the time was a Mr. Murray, who went from there to being manager of the Odeon, Highgate. Incidentally, Islington is not so much a north London inner-city district but rather a borough in its own right, within the ceremonial County of Greater London
