Waltham Forest’s councillors have agreed an ambitious plan to secure the long term future of the former EMD Cinema.
The local authority has acquired the freehold of this much loved listed building while the venue itself will be regenerated and operated by our colleagues at Soho Theatre.
The scheme will enable a full scale restoration of the historic cinema building while reviving it as a state-of-the-art centre for culture and entertainment.
The project is the result of much long-term planning and negotiation and will finally see the venue returned to its proper role as a landmark arts destination after years of neglect and misuse. The site should reopen fully in 2025.
Further details will be posted here shortly while updates from Soho Theatre can be found here. For the very latest news bulletins, join our mailing list via this link
