Former Savoy Cinema, Burnt Oak Broadway, Edgware - Brent

The Savoy Cinema was built for the independent circuit Goide & Glassman and was designed by cinema architect George Coles. It opened on 29th June 1936 with Bobby Breen in "Rainbow on the River". It is an impressive cinema with all its internal Moderne fittings intact. It operated as a bingo hall from the 1960s but closed in 2014. The building remains empty and in a declining state with crumbling plasterwork. An earlier approved scheme has fallen through, but new pre-application discussions are now taking place.
