The Embassy Cinema, Art deco cinema in Chadwell Heath, England
The Embassy Cinema is an Art Deco building in Chadwell Heath featuring cream-colored faience tiles on its facade. The structure spans two levels and originally held a total capacity of 1,812 seats across its screening spaces.
The building opened on May 17, 1934, designed by architect Harry Weston and operated as Gaumont Palace Theatre. It then became a bingo hall in 1966 before being converted into a modern venue in 2015.
The venue hosted free Saturday morning film clubs for children and presented live orchestral performances alongside movie screenings. These programs shaped the cultural life of the community for many years.
The building retains its original Art Deco structure despite changing purposes over the decades. Visitors can observe the classic architectural details throughout the interior spaces.
Local residents led a restoration project to transform the building into a two-screen facility. This community effort demonstrates the lasting affection many have for this historic structure.
