Vue west end goes glow in the dark with a twist


Vue West End is a nine-screen cinema complex in Leicester Square, London. It was built on the site of Daly's Theatre, which was opened on 27 June 1893, and demolished in 1937, having been sold to Warner Brothers who demolished it to build a large theatre and cinema called the "Warner Theatre" in 1938. Most of this was later demolished, although the frontage was retained, and the site redeveloped as the Warner Village cinema complex. It has changed hands again, and is now the Vue West End.

The architects of the 1938 cinema were Thomas Somerford and E. A. Stone. The frontage has a facade of faced reconstructed marble. The sculptor Bainbridge Copnall provided a large relief panel in each corner depicting the spirits of sight and sound.
