Auditorium of the Odeon, Well Hall Road, Eltham, London, 1936. The cinema was opened in 1936 to the designs of Andrew Mather, an architect specialising in cinema commissions. Circular features relieve a strong linear emphasis, a typical Art Deco combination. The seating is divided into an upper and a lower level, and the curtains are drawn to cover the screen.
