The second of Stone and Segal's Astoria cinemas to be built was opened in the Old Kent Road on 10th February 1930.
Internally, the Old Kent Road Astoria was a departure from the atmospheric style that had been pioneered so successfully at Brixton; owing more, in the view of Dennis Sharp, to 'the work of (Thomas) Lamb, and consequently Frank Verity...than that of (John) Eberson'.
Following the takeover of the Astorias by Odeon, and the subsequent absorption of the Odeon circuit by The Rank Organisation, the Old Kent Road Astoria was too close to other Rank houses, such as the Trocadero at the Elephant and Castle, to be given an even break.

I'm interested in the OKR as a sort of social counterweight to Hampstead, but my friend David, a south London partisan, is genuinely keen on it, and gave me a guided tour this week.
As he did so, I reflected that the OKR does have the look of suburban Los Angeles or Chicago - that rangy wildness - and it occurred to me that this is what happens to British streetscapes when middle-class vigilance is reduced and planning controls relaxed: they begin to look American.
