Built as the Picturedrome cinema in 1914, the premises was extended in 1935 and became the new home of the Connaught Theatre (established nearby in 1931). The theatre houses touring West End theatre productions, musicals, thrillers, dramas and children's productions. Since 1987 it has been a dual use cinema/theatre with two screens.
However, the theatre is home to a rather disconcerting Grey Lady with a pale face and "dark pools of eyes". Objects are also moved. There is allegedly another ghost here which Brooks states was blamed for the death of a patron shortly after World War Two when it caused a lighting bar to fall on her.
