Apollo Victoria Theatre

Theatre Architecture

The Architecture of The Apollo Victoria

The cinema was designed by W Lewis. The typically '30s ribbing on the exterior of the building was brought into sharp focus by the use of neon lighting.

The original auditorium was designed as a mermaid's palace. With huge flowers branching upwards and lights like glass stalactites hanging down from above. The proscenium arch was adorned with slender silver columns on each side. The area above the arch was decorated with faux silver organ pipes, giving the illusion of a waterfall. The theatre auditorium was decorated with an aquatic theme, making use of fish, shells and waves.

Sadly most of the original interior is now lost. The theatre is designed with the stalls below ground and the main foyer in the balcony void area. The building has two identical façades - one on Vauxhall Bridge Road and the other on Wilton Road. The Wilton Road entrance is decorated with two bas-relief panels depicting an audience watching a film.
