This Pub is Permanently Closed

Nightclub.

The Kensington Palace Cinema was opened on 4th April 1927 with seating provided for 1,000 in stalls and circle levels. It had a 20 feet wide proscenium and the cinema had a cafe.

Taken over by Star Cinemas of Leeds in 1967 and re-named Ritz Cinema, it was closed shortly afterwards in September 1967 and became a Star Bingo Club. Its last use was as a nightclub named ‘Merlin’s’, which had closed by 1998. Since then the building was unused and empty, and became increasingly derelict.

In 2013 it was converted into a residential home featured on the TV show Grand Designs.
