A very early start for this one. And thanks for my invite from the other 2 lads I went with @GK-WAX and @albinojay arrived here in the pitch black early hours. Luckily we didn’t have any trouble finding our way inside. We’re we found ourselves a room to wait for it to come light enough to have a look around. Watching the bustop across the road. That’s one seriously busy bustop. And another 2 guys turned up giving us a surprise we exchanged a few word and we all carried on. Here’s a few photos and history..
HISTORY
Located in Southall, Middlesex, in the west of Greater London. 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 regular 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"

This place is really seeing a lot of attention recently, quite rightly too. Its a gem of an explore. Nicely Done.
 
Nicely done, as Gromr123 says it is a gem!. You got a couple of rooms I missed I think. Read some history and wondered how many movies were not shown or banned in a cinema run by The Methodist Church. :very_drunk::very_drunk::very_drunk: Got delayed editing my pics but thats another story.
 
How long do you think before a bloody Sainburys and Tesco gets built on this site. Invest a ton of money and this place could look new again
 
I used to drive past this every day when I lived in Southall in the 1970's but I've never seen inside, Thanks for posting..
