Troxy, Art Deco entertainment venue in Stepney, England.
The Troxy is an Art Deco building with 3,100 seats in the Stepney district, now used for concerts, theater performances, and events. The main hall features a revolving stage and is decorated with ornamental plasterwork, gilded moldings, and a coffered ceiling from its early years.
Originally built in 1933 on the site of a former brewery, the building served as a cinema with great success for nearly three decades. After closing as a movie house, it found a new use as a training center for opera singers between 1963 and 1977 before being converted into an event venue.
The original name was The Troxy Cinema, a nod to its purpose as a neighborhood movie palace. Today visitors come for concerts, award shows, and corporate events in the main hall, while the mirrors and gilded details from the founding era remain in place.
The nearest rail stations are at Limehouse, where the Docklands Light Railway and regular trains stop, and several bus routes stop close to the entrance. For evening events it is wise to arrive early, as the hall fills quickly and the cloakroom takes extra time.
The restored Wurlitzer organ from the 1930s is the largest theater pipe organ in Europe and is occasionally played during concerts and special screenings. The original sound returns to the hall then, echoing the era when silent films were accompanied by live music.
