London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, and the rooms above pubs where things start. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.
What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance
The Hammersmith Odeon under another name, and one of the best-preserved art deco theatres in Britain.
GigsWorth it for the building
It opened on 28 March 1932 as the Gaumont Palace, designed by the theatre architect Robert Cromie: 3,487 seats, a thirty-five-foot stage, twenty dressing rooms, a Compton organ and a fan-shaped auditorium that gives the room its intimacy and its sightlines. From 1962 it was the Hammersmith Odeon, and the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Marley all played it; Bowie retired Ziggy Stardust from this stage. The last regular film screened on 8 August 1984.
The name has changed several times since and the audience has never adopted any of them.
