Jamie Lee Curtis graced its red carpet during the London premiere of True Lies at The Empire. Her radiant smile illuminated the night as she joined other Hollywood stars in celebrating their latest cinematic triumphs. But it's not just about glitz and glamour; education also found its place within these hallowed grounds. In 1935, Donald McLeish captured a snapshot in time when he photographed a school located on Hogarth House's site in Leicester Square. It serves as a reminder that even amidst urban hustle and bustle, knowledge continues to thrive. Catherine Zeta Jones dazzled audiences at The Royal Gala Film Premiere held at Leicester Square – her elegance matching perfectly with this illustrious setting.
