The entrance

The former ABC Cinema, which closed four years ago, has long been well-known for its association with Charlie Chaplin who lived nearby and appeared on stage in its early days. Later the Art Deco decoration was added as the theatre prospered before its conversion to a cinema.

Now the 572-seater auditorium is expected to host live music, product launches, conferences and regular club nights as well as film screenings.

Finishing touches are being completed following a charity preview party which ran late into the night.
