EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glance into the Past: Leicester Square, London in the 1910s - The Alhambra Music Hall Theatre Leicester Square, a vibrant and bustling public square in the heart of London, has been a popular destination for locals and tourists alike for centuries. In this photograph from the 1910s, we are transported back in time to witness the charm and character of this iconic London landmark. The image showcases the eastern side of Leicester Square, with its lush gardens and statues providing a serene backdrop to the hustle and bustle of the square. At the forefront of the scene, the Alhambra Music Hall Theatre stands proudly, a testament to London's rich cultural history. The Alhambra Music Hall Theatre, established in 1854, was a significant part of London's entertainment scene for over eight decades. This grand theatre, with its distinctive red brick facade and ornate detailing, played host to a variety of performances, from music hall shows and vaudeville acts to dramatic productions and even boxing matches. Sadly, the Alhambra Music Hall Theatre met its end in 1936, when it was demolished to make way for new developments. Today, the site is home to the Odeon Leicester Square cinema. However, this evocative photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the theatre's storied past and the role it played in shaping London's cultural landscape. As we admire the beauty of Leicester Square in this bygone era, we are reminded of the enduring allure of this historic square and the rich tapestry of stories it holds within its boundaries.
