Grosvenor Theatre, Art Deco movie theater in Rayners Lane, England
The Grosvenor Theatre is an Art Deco cinema in Rayners Lane located at Alexandra Avenue in the London Borough of Harrow. The building features a striking brick and stone facade with geometric details and architectural elements typical of 1930s entertainment venues.
The Grosvenor Theatre opened as a cinema in 1936 and remained a popular entertainment venue for decades. In 2000, its use as a movie house ended and the building was converted to serve the Zoroastrian community.
The building now serves the Zoroastrian Centre for Europe, hosting worship and community gatherings for followers of Zoroastrianism. This religious community has made the former cinema an active spiritual and social hub.
The building is located in Rayners Lane in the London Borough of Harrow and is accessible by public transport. As a protected listed building, it's best to contact ahead if you wish to visit or view the interior.
During its cinema years, the building featured a spacious stage that could host live performances alongside film screenings. This theatrical infrastructure remains partly preserved beneath the building's current religious use.
