Project Description
Odeon at Alexander Fleming House (now Metro Central Heights).
The Odeon, now demolished, was built as part of Alexander Fleming House complex (now renamed Metro Central Heights), designed by Erno Goldfinger. The Odeon was built as a replacement for the 3,500-seat Trocadero Cinema, which stood near the site, demolished due to the construction of the new Elephant and Castle roadway system in the 1950s.
The Odeon was a one-screen, one thousand person capacity cinema. It was run until its demolition in August 1988, following financial problems, to make way for a car park.
