Just caught your interior shots Woody – Very nice so I don’t need to upload my rather inferior interiors.

This seems about the best sort of conversion an old single-screen cinema can undergo: it retains all the space and decoration and is indeed a nice airy place to drink in! Bingo decor and accoutrements are not so aesthetically pleasing! Don’t forget the pleasures of the Egyptian “Capitol” in Forest Hill, alas, without the first “jellymould” Compton theatre Organ that was originally installed but the beer is fine.

J.D. Weatherspoon’s chain opened it as the ‘Coronet’ pub on 14th March 1996.
