Deconstructed: Carlton Cinema — Islington at the Pictures
In this episode Matthew Lloyd Roberts was joined by Nigel Smith, who runs ‘Memory Palaces’, a website and programme of walking tours to explore the history of London’s cinemas. They discussed the Carlton Cinema on Essex Road, Islington, which first opened to the public in a grand ceremony in 1930, and represents the changing fashions and fate for cinema-going throughout the 20th-century.
Nigel will be giving walking tours of London cinemas over the coming months, including the Carlton. For more information, check out his website:
