Troxy, Art Deco entertainment venue in Stepney, England.
The Troxy features grand architectural elements, including mirror-lined restaurants, ornate decorative details, and a revolving stage within its 3,100-person capacity space.
Originally constructed as a cinema in 1933 for £250,000 on a former brewery site, the building later served as the London Opera Centre from 1963 to 1977.
The venue transformed from its cinema origins to host diverse events, including music concerts, awards ceremonies, sports competitions, and corporate gatherings.
Located near Limehouse station, the venue provides access through Docklands Light Railway and National Rail services, with multiple bus routes stopping nearby.
The building houses Europe's largest theatre pipe organ, a Wurlitzer instrument restored to its original condition in 2015.
