EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by John Maltby in 1937, showcases the elegant and timeless beauty of the Swiss Cottage Odeon cinema in Camden, London. The Odeon cinema chain was established by Oscar Deutsch in 1933, and this particular cinema, registered under the trade mark Odeon, opened its doors to the public in 1937. Unlike many of Odeon's cinemas, which followed the modern movement and Art Deco style, the Swiss Cottage Odeon stands out with its distinctive red brick exterior. The building, designed by Harry Weedon, is a testament to the architectural diversity within the Odeon chain. The image captures the cinema in its early days, with a car parked outside, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The recreational hub bustles with life, as people gather to enjoy an evening at the movies. The Odeon in Swiss Cottage was not just a place to watch the latest films, but a social destination where friends and families could come together for an unforgettable experience. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when cinema was a cherished part of everyday life. The Swiss Cottage Odeon remains an important piece of London's cinematic history, a reminder of the role that cinemas played in shaping our leisure time and bringing communities together.
