London Hippodrome

Hippodrome, London
The London Hippodrome was built in 1900 by Frank Matcham for Edward Moss as a hippodrome for circus and variety performances, including a tank for aquatic performances. In 1909 it was converted into a variety theatre by Frank Matcham (ca. 1340 seats). In 1958 the original interior was demolished and the London Hippodrome was converted into the cabaret restaurant, "Talk of the Town". It is currently used as a discotheque and nightclub.
