Ken Roe’s comment about the theatre being in Bermondsey and not Camberwell is incorrect.
Camberwell of 1911 was not the area we know today, basically Camberwell Green and its surrounds. Camberwell was actually a borough in its own right (as was Bermondsey) and made up the majority of what is the current LB of Southwark.
It was called the Camberwell Electric Theatre because it was in Camberwell.
