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 of 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. Applications for Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent to re-purpose and restore the building were approved in March 2021.
