Here is the churches website and the interior looks stunning-it appears to have been decorated,recarpeted and re seated both in the stalls and the circle. http://www.cftchurches.org/index.php/about-us/cathedral-gallery

I was given a tour of the building in 2009 and the receptionist gave me a copy of the booklet that appeared soon after the cinema opened. I shall be writing about my trip and will include many of the photographs on the PLAYING BINGO website at:

Watch the space – in the meantime, you can read about the Granada Tooting at the site:

Enjoy.

I regularly saw films here as a child and I watched the Beatles film “Yellow Submarine” here. It was a wonderful cinema and its a shame its only now used for Bingo and not for films and live shows.

Buddy Holly and Des O Connor appeared here on the same bill in March 1958.
