Of all the local cinemas that I can recall, this was the most paltatial in Hackney. There was nothing about it that merited the title of “Fleapit” that was so often associated with other cinemas in the area.
The outside of the cinema can be seen in a short film by John Smith called ‘girl chewing gum’ – from about the middle of the film. Google ‘girl chewing gum john smith’ and you can watch it on Youtube
The building stood opposite the Plaza and was just round the corner from the Gaumont.
