The King’s Hall was built in 1916 and was designed by architect Sir Alfred Gelder of Hull. The King’s Hall building has a 3-storey red brick and stone facade. It was operated by the Uxbridge and Southall Wesleyan Mission and it was soon screening religious films.
By 1926, it was operating as a 1500 seat single screen cinema, still managed by the Methodist church.
The King’s Hall Cinema was closed in 1937. It then reverted back to a Methodist Church use as the King’s Hall Methodist Church. They vacated the building in January 2013.
So after seeing Mockney Rejects report from here i just had to see it for myself. Wind the clock forward a year and a bit. PV and I got in nice and early, went up on the roof and waited for the sun to come up and the light to shine through before the cameras came out.
I have never seen wooden floors warp and look like a sea of waves to this extent before, also these 2 rooms were pitch black so needed lighting up.
Was nice to meet you Mr RAW
