Odeon, Kingstanding, Art Deco cinema building in Kingstanding, Birmingham, England.
The cinema features a symmetrical facade adorned with cream and black tiles, three slender fins, and a stepped brick parapet overlooking Kingstanding Circle.
Opening in 1935 with 'The Lives of a Bengal Lancer', the cinema operated until 1962 before transforming into a bingo hall that continues operations today.
The building represents a modernist design by architects Harry Weedon and Cecil Clavering, who drew inspiration from the Lichtburg cinema in Berlin.
The structure contained 968 seats in the stalls and 324 in the circle, serving the residents of the 4,000-home Kingstanding housing estate.
The building received Grade II listed status in 1980, just 44 years after construction, marking its significance in British architectural heritage.
