Wimbledon Picture Palace

The hall started life as Municipal Baths, until new ones were built in 1909 in Latimer Road. The old baths were covered over, and became known as Worple Hall, primarily being used for public meetings and the like. The hall was accessed via an association arcade adjacent to the Queen’s Picture Theatre. After its short stint as a cinema, the Worple Hall name returned and it was used to display carpets and rugs for example. The whole block was demolished to build the Odeon on the enlarged site of the Queen’s. Worple Hall has the same postcode as the Odeon, address was 11-12, Worple Road.
