Crystal Palace Cinema Campaign
The Picture Palace Campaign is campaigning for the bingo hall at 25 Church Road, SE19 to be reponed as a cinema - apparently Gala have sold the building to a large evangelical church despite an independent cinema operator also putting in an offer. The art deco building in the Crystal Palace triangle was originally built in 1928 as a cinema and the interior was designed by the renowned cinema architect George Coles.
