Cobham, to the south-east of Esher is today on the outer boundry of Greater London. The Savoy Cinema was located on Portsmouth Road, opposite Northfield Road. It opened in 1937. It had a 45 feet wide proscenium, a stage where occasional live shows were performed, and a cafe was another of its facilities. The Savoy Cinema was taken over by the Shipman & King chain in 1938.
Shipman & King were taken over by the Grade Organisation in 1967, and around 1970, the Savoy Cinema was closed. It has since been demolished and the site is now a playing field.

I remember going to this cinema as a child and seeing Mary Poppins, in fact as we were leaving my sister informed me that they would be showing it again after we had left and I cried my eyes out as I wanted to be able to watch it one more time!
This was a great place, under the same management as the Embassy, Esher further along the Portsmouth Road. Remember sitting through Summer Holiday two and a half times in one go. I used to be given the old hanging cards advertising the week’s attractions when I was taken for a haircut every Saturday, and I’m pretty sure it closed earlier than you suggest. I think the last film shown was The Hill starring Sean Connery and Harry Andrews, which was released in 1965.
