Summary[edit]

Description
English: In January 2019 construction work began in earnest on the £100m Filmworks scheme that will transform the centre of Ealing, West London. The St George development forms what Ealing Council has designated a Cultural Quarter and is expected to be completed during 2021.

The scheme will include a Picturehouse multiplex cinema, long awaited by local residents whose last remaining screen, the Empire closed in 2008. The Filmworks development will preserve the Empire’s 1934 quasi-Egyptian art deco facade and will include 200 ‘contemporary’ apartments as well as a central piazza, shops, restaurants and bars. The rear of the facade can be seen in the middle of the picture, behind the crane. Filmworks’ construction was only able to commence after the 2018 demolition of two buildings in Bond Street next to the present-day Xanadu boutique hotel: the 1906 YMCA building and Walpole House, the 1980s office building that had replaced one of Ealing’s other former cinemas, the 1912 Walpole Picture Theatre.

The Walpole cinema was demolished in 1981 but its ornate facade has been preserved on the wall of the building at 3 Mattock Lane and can be seen at the right-hand side of the picture.
