Located in the Monnaie-Building on Rue Fosse aux Loups, not far from Theatre de La Monnaie. The entrance to the cinema was through an arcade. Opened on October 10, 1957 with Dirk Bogarde in “Campbell’s Kingdom”. It was operated by The Rank Organisation, and it specialised in British movies. It went quickly, over taken by Mr Henry Fol who directed the Avenue Cinema on the Porte de Namur, the first cinema he transformed into a duplex by 1953, and the Vendome Cinema then located in Avenue Louise.
In 1962 as a 13 year old boy, I saw “The Young Ones” with Cliff Richard. In the 1970’s, the Piccadilly Cinema became a duplex and to begin with, one screen was called the Mayfair. “American Graffiti” was shown at the Piccadilly Cinema, together with the Vendome Cinema. It finally closed in 1981. The auditorium had been demolished by 2009. The Heritage Listed arcade entrance survives.
