EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of The Granada cinema in Tooting, London, circa 1931. Designed with Spanish-Moorish influences, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to the opulence of its time. The interior of this newly-opened cinema is adorned with luxurious Art Deco style, radiating elegance and sophistication. Considered by many as the most spectacular cinema in Britain, it has rightfully earned Grade I Listed status for its historical significance. This image was featured in "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933. The photographer behind this remarkable shot remains unknown but their work immortalizes an era when cinemas were not just places for entertainment but also works of art themselves. From the intricate detailing on the walls to the majestic chandeliers hanging from above, every element within this space exudes beauty and craftsmanship. Stepping into The Granada would have transported moviegoers to a world where Hispano-Arabic influences merged seamlessly with British design sensibilities. It served as a cultural haven where people could escape reality and immerse themselves in cinematic wonders. Today, even though time has passed since its glory days, this photograph allows us to appreciate and marvel at the architectural brilliance that once graced Tooting's landscape. It serves as a reminder that art can be found not only on canvas but also within our built environment – forever capturing moments that transcend generations.
