This month the feature is about the conversion of the London Hippodrome into 'The Talk Of The Town' in 1958. The feature consists of articles and images from the programme shown on the right and is packed full of details and images on the conversion and the people and companies involved. The London Hippodrome was built in 1900 by Frank Matcham as a Circus Variety Theatre but since the conversion in 1958 to 'The Talk Of The Town' and subsequent closure and conversion into a night club venue the original internal architecture has suffered serious damage. Parts of the original building do exist above the present Night Club ceiling however and it is hoped that in the not too distant future this fine Theatre may be restored to its former grandeur. Click the cover to begin the Feature Line drawings on this programme were created by Tod Kingman. Please note that in 2008 the Theatre is being renovated externally and plans are being drawn up for its proposed conversion into a Casino, of which full details can be found here...
