Thanks for this. I lived in Hammersmith for a long time, but knew very little about the old cinemas. But I lived just around the corner from the Regal, went there often and still remember its lovely Art Deco interiors. From the look of it behind you, it's doomed to demolition, presumably in the Council's megalomaniac determination to make Hammersmith their own steel-and-glass playground.

Ah the Regal. Almost opposite where I lived in Studland Street. I used to go there to see kids Saturday morning pictures in the late 60's to early 70's where I met a lovely girl from Peterborough in the summer of 71 and became my first "crush". It was one big cinema then and it was later closed for some time to make it into a multi screen. All sadly gone now, just a bloody big gap where it stood

The Regal cinema was, in the 1930s, called the Blue Hall and the small cinema, behind it, was called the extension.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the ABC cinema as that is where I brought my very young daughter to see her first movie at a cinema, ‘Superman’ starring Christopher Reeve and I was very disappointed when it was pulled down. At least there are still some pictures of it on Google.
