In the 1920's this was THE cinema to visit in West London - it was called The Liberty Cinema and, as you can see, was a highly decorative building. With the decline of cinema in the 60s and 70s and the changing face of Southall, Libertys closed and was used in my time in Southall as a market hall.

I was really thrilled to see it has reverted to use as a cinema, now known as the Himalaya Palace and showing Bollywood's finest. I can't tell you what a buzz that gave me. I just love the fact that this wonderful building is being used for what the architect intended again. One of these days I may even slip inside and see a movie.
