Designed by Frank Matcham, the London Palladium opened on Boxing Day 1910, becoming famous through televison as "Ace Variety Theatre of the World"
The site in which the building stands used to be home to Corinthian Bazaar, Henglers Grand Cirque and National Ice Skating Palace.
The building does stand alone with the face being modified and a sculpture being added by Matcham, the design shows a classic temple frontage with Corintinthian columns. The London Palladium does have a unique architectural design which makes the building so memorable.
The interiors of the building have been restored back to Matcham's original design, the image above shows how grand the auditurium is with the rich gold's and red's. This colour scheme seems to occur throughout many theatre's, do i want to look into the colour scheme's that have been used throughout theatre's and at different periods of time, this maybe very important when it comes to my design.
The Entrance Foyer portrays the feel of the rest of the building with the grand marble stairways, providing a very luxurious feel for it's guests.
