Streatham was one of South London's hot spots at the turn of the century up to the 1960's with people wanting to come see and be seen either at the theatre, clubs, ice-rink, commons or one of the 3 cinemas that had stood along the High Street. Most of the cinema buildings were art deco and the Odeon cinema down the road was a splendid example, unfortunately the facade and internal decoration has gone leaving the ABC foyer the only remaining image of a past time. This is defiantly a must for people to save, use and appreciate the building that South London and Streatham has only just still got. I would love to curate an art show in this building for South London's budding contemporary artists from places like Wimbledon Art Collage to Camberwell and including local and international artists all showing in a build which is nostalgic and familiar to so many. This building is primed with history of film, stories and culture which should link to its neighbours and create a closer bond with them making it easier for people to want to go out and see things around South London.
