Bermondsey Central Hall

Located in the southeast London district of Bermondsey. The Bermondsey Central Hall was built in 1889. It was built for the Methodist Missions as a church. In November 1909 it began screening films on Saturdays, with a 5pm children’s matinee and an 8pm evening screening for adults. It averaged 30,000 admissions during the October to April seasons. Seating was provided for 1,600-seats on the main floor and 900-seats in the gallery. It was also known as the Great Central Hall.

It was demolished and rebuilt in 1968, with only the original Gothic Revival style facade was retained. Today it serves as a church named the South London Mission.
