London Hippodrome - Views from the Upper Gallery

 

From the back of the Upper Gallery, now dark and unused, you can get a good idea of the dimensions of the original auditorium, although there is much ironwork obliterating the view which forms the structure of the false ceiling over the Night Club dance floor.

Mezzanine level over the present Night Club.
