Eventim Apollo is one of London’s major live entertainment venues. Located in Hammersmith, West London it is one of the UK’s largest and best-preserved original theatres first opening on the 28th of March, 1932 as the Gaumont Palace cinema with Tom Walls “A Night Like This” and Helen Twelvetrees in "Bad Company". It was designed on behalf of a joint collaboration between exhibitor Israel Davis and the Gaumont British Theatres chain by renowned theatre architect Robert Cromie. Designed in the Art Deco style original features included 3,487 seats, a large 35 foot deep stage, an excellent fan shaped auditorium (allowing remarkable intimacy and excellent sightlines), twenty dressing rooms, a Compton4Manual/15 Ranks theatre organ and a café/restaurant located on the balcony foyer area. Since 2012 the venue has been owned in a joint venture between AEG Presents and CTS Eventim, and a muti-million pound investment saw a huge visual transformation the venue as it was returned to its iconic 1932 Art Deco design. Overseen by award-winning architects Foster Wilson, highlights included returning fixtures and fittings to the original designs, restorations of the ornate plasterwork and historically sensitive decoration to match the original paint scheme. The refurbishment also revived the two marble staircases previously concealed beneath the extended stage, as well as restoration of the original foyer floor mosaic panels, whilst in the circle the original windows were revealed allowing natural light to once again flood the circle bar. New multi-coloured LED lighting on the facade highlights the new venue's prominence.
