		This theatre is renowned for its distinctively ornate Art Deco exterior, and its warm Edwardian interior, with pretty domes, and a classy, traditional performance area.
		London's Alhambra was, however, mostly a music hall more than a serious theatre, so it catered mainly for the popular end of the entertainment market of the day, with all the usual music hall acts, as well as "patriotic demonstrations" celebrating the British Empire and British military successes.
		Like many other theatres the Alhambra went into decline in the 20th century due to the popularity of cinema, and it was demolished in 1936 to make way for the Odeon Leicester Square, which remains on the site.
