New Blue Hall Cinema, Hammersmith The New Blue Hall Cinema opened on 10 December 1912 with a seating capacity of 1300. It was built and operated by Blue Halls Limited. It was such a success that a second cinema known as the Blue Hall Extension was opened on 26 December 1913 at the rear of the original Blue Hall. In 1935 ABC were planning a new cinema for Hammersmith and the Blue Hall Cinema was demolished to be replaced by the Regal Cinema. The Blue Hall Annexe continued to operate while the new Regal Cinema was being built. When that opened on 14 September 1936 the Blue Hall Annexe was closed and demolished to provide a cinema car park at the rear of the new Regal Cinema. The Regal Cinema operated as a 4-screen Cineworld Hammersmith until its closure in April 2016. TUM image id: 1517664264 Licence:	Cambridge Road (now Cambridge Grove) during the Edwardian period.
