Grand, Battersea, SW11
Venue just opposite Clapham Junction, which used to be a major gig venue, but is now mostly a nightclub (though it still does some music). Built as a music hall in 1900, it screened films from 1901 and became a full-time cinema in 1931. Wetherspoon's bought it in 1997 but couldn't get permission to turn it into pub (and held onto it for years).
Address: 21-25 St Johns Hill.
Former Name(s): Essoldo; Grand Theatre; Grand Theatre of Varieties; The New Grand Theatre of Varieties.
Owner: (website); Mean Fiddler (former).
