EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Odeon Cinema in Haymarket, St James, City of Westminster. As we gaze upon the image, we find ourselves immersed in the dimly lit auditorium, peering over rows of seating towards the screen. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as moviegoers eagerly await the start of a film. The Odeon Cinema holds a rich history within its walls. Originally opened in 1962, it was ingeniously constructed in the basement of what once was the Gaumont Cinema. The former cinema has since been transformed into offices, but its legacy lives on through this hidden gem below ground level. The photograph captures an intimate moment within this cinematic sanctuary. The ceiling above resembles a honeycomb pattern illuminated by soft orange lighting, creating an ambiance that enhances every movie-watching experience. It's easy to imagine oneself transported back to a time when picture palaces like this were at their peak popularity. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. In January 2000, after decades of entertaining audiences and providing countless memories for movie enthusiasts, the doors of this beloved cinema closed for good. Norman Walley's skillful lens immortalizes this iconic space and invites us to reflect on its significance within London's cultural landscape. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how even fleeting moments captured on film can hold immense historical value and evoke nostalgia for times gone by.
