Savoy Cinema

Located in the north Camberwell area of Camberwell Gate. The 420-seat Picture Empire was a conversion of a builder’s warehouse. It was opened prior to December 1909. It was granted a Cinematograph Licence on 5th January 1910. It was closed in around 1929, still a silent cinema.

In 1930, it was refurbished and equipped for sound by new owners, the Court family, and was re-named Savoy Cinema with 550-seats. It was destroyed by German bombs during World War II.

In 2009, the empty space in the parade of shops and apartments where the Savoy Cinema was located is now a single storey local Coskun Supermarket & Off Licence shop.
