The Troxy is a 1930’s art deco Grade II listed building with the capacity of over 2,600 now a corporate, conferencing, exhibition, banqueting and live concert venue.

Designed by George Coles for Hyams & Gale as a cinema in 1933, it was renowned for its large revolving stage, Wurlitzer Organ and opulent decor which included chandeliers and large sweeping staircases.

As a result of the wartime damage to the building, the Troxy closed its doors in1960 showing its last film The Siege of Sidney Street and re opened in 1963 as the London Opera Centre run by The Royal Opera House. The venue gained its Grade II listing in 1990 and was converted into a Bingo Hall run by Mecca Bingo until 2006.

Sam Wanamaker, the American actor, producer and director, was responsible more than anyone else for today’s Shakespeare Globe Theatre on London’s South Bank.

In 1970 he launched the Shakespeare Globe Trust, with the sole intention of creating a replica of the original 16th century open-air theatre. He worked tirelessly on his project, overcoming great swathes of scepticism and all kinds of other obstacles – but in the end he not only raised more than £5 million but he also acquired a prime development site overlooking the Thames.

Unfortunately, Wanamaker never lived to see his dream come true: he died of prostate cancer in 1993, just four years before work was finished and the theatre was opened by the Queen. But Shakespeare's Globe still flourishes today – and were it not for the tenacity of this distinguished American, Britain and the world would be without this utterly exquisite and unique theatre.

This bust of Sir Noël Coward, the playwright, composer, director, actor and singer, was sculpted by Avril Vellacott and greets everyone who visits Teddington Library in Waldegrave Road. Which is quite fitting really, because not far along the road, at number 131, is the house where 'The Master' was born on 16 December 1899. In an accomplished life, Coward wrote more than 50 plays - some of his best-known being Blithe Spirit, Hay Fever, Private Lives and The Vortex. Among his musical compositions were London Pride, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Mad About the Boy and, of course, Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage. Mrs Worthington. As an actor, he appeared in a variety of films such as Our Man in Havana, Around the World in Eighty Days and The Italian Job.

I couldn't resist this view of Richmond's lovely theatre and its reflection in the top of a parked car. Richmond Theatre is a Victorian Theatre situated close to the beautiful Green at Richmond. According to Wikipedia: 'it opened on 18 September 1899 with a performance of As You Like It, and is one of the finest surviving examples of the work of theatre architect Frank Matcham.'

Built 1788, closed 1848, reopened 1963, restored and extended 2003.

The Georgian Theatre Royal is Britain's most complete Georgian playhouse. Built by the actor-manager Samuel Butler in 1788, the theatre was in regular use until 1830 when performances became less frequent. In 1848 it was let as an auction room. Wine vaults were constructed in the pit at about the same time. In 1960 a non-profit trust was incorporated, a public appeal launched and a restoration began. The theatre reopened in 1963. It is Grade I Listed 'as a building of special architectural or historical interest'. Behind the stage, a small theatre museum was expanded in 1996.

Filming location for The Naked Truth, The Krays, Evita and Finding Neverland.
