"'a missing piece of the jigsaw in the heart of Camden Town - full of potential and something that could be really special'"
"'outdated, inefficient, and at the end of its life'"
"The proposals envision a 'cultural space such as Lightroom' and a connected restaurant space 'similar to the Young Vic '."
"'While the cinema's imminent closure marks the end of an era, it opens the way for a new cultural use that will honour Camden's creative spirit and see this landmark site enter its next exciting chapter.'"
Camden Vision proposes a mixed-use development at 180 Arlington Road, previously occupied by Mecca Bingo and an Odeon cinema. The plan would replace an outdated building with student housing, affordable housing, shops, and an entertainment venue, plus a reconstructed façade and renovated interior. The proposals include a cultural space likened to Lightroom, a restaurant area similar to the Young Vic, and exploration of a music venue accommodating up to 500 people. The development aims to honour Camden's music legacy, attract regular gigs, and reinvigorate the area after the cinema's closure, with public consultations reportedly showing strong support.
