History of the London Cinema
The famous French inventor Louis Daguerre brought his invention of the new technique to London in the 1820's and established a
Diorama at Park Square East in Regents Park in 1823. The photo above shows the front of the cinema with the name DIORAMA still on the upper roof. The building is now used by the Princes Trust.
The Rotunda salon.
 Situated at the rear of the Diorama is the shell of the Rotundra designed by Augustus Charles Pugin to form part of the Diorama, this is all that remains with part of the wall and steps down to the foyer. This building is also part of the Princes trust.
