Empire Leicester Square London Panorama

By Panoramas 60-70

The Empire Leicester Square opened on the 8th November 1928 with the silent film ‘Trewlawny of the Wells.’ Owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer it has been at the heart of London’s Cinema history since the first moving pictures were shown in the old Empire, a music hall that pre-dates the current site.

The Cinema was renovated in 1962 and is currently run by United Cinemas International. Inside the cinema remains a testament to the days of grand cinemas, a era lost with the development of the multi-plex.

Woman in White Palace Theatre London Panorama

By Panoramas 60-70

The Palace Theatre is currently host to the Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical the Woman in White. The show opened at the theatre in 2004 after Les Miserables closed at The Palace after a 18 year run.

The theatre opened in 1891 as Opera House but shortly after changed with the times to a music hall in 1892. Designed by T.E. Collcutt and G.H. Holloway the Theatre has a seating capacity of 1400 and is currently a Grade II Listed Building.

Of course panoramas capture a full 360 x 180 degree field of view so some people maybe more interested in the fine example of a RouteMaster London Bus at the traffic lights…

With thanks to Kampanart Piyathamrongchai (Known as Meo) from our lab the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, at University College London, we have been able to embed the panoramas from the blog into Google Maps.

Meo hacked about with the code to enable quicktime to be pulled off our server and overlaid on top of the standard Google Map interface. It is possible to view three types of map – standard, satellite and hybrid.

– edit – The system works happily in Firefox but seems to have some issues Explorer with the Quicktime not showing. We have added a full screen mode which maximises the map according to your browser size, the panoramas recently added to the blog will appear on the map over the coming days. – edit –
