Eros House – Hippodrome & Eros Cinema
In the 1930s, Catford’s Hippodrome was one of Lewisham’s many performance venues and with 3000 seats was one of the largest music hall venues in Europe. It showed live acts such as pantomime and variety shows as well as films. It closed for two years having been seriously damaged during the Blitz and in 1952 reopened as the Eros Cinema, a popular social spot until it closed in 1959. The Eros House now sits on the site of the old cinema.
