Details

Built adjacent to East Ham Station, the Palace was brick with stone dressings with a short but elaborate tower ornamentally dressed with banding and the name PALACE vertically above (the forerunner of the fin sign?). There was an elaborate glazed Moorish entrance canopy, suggesting that the interior may have been in the same style. The Palace was designed by Oswald Cane Wylson and Charles Long who designed the Palaces at Walthamstow, Chelsea, Euston and Tottenham for the same company, of which all save the last (listed Grade II) are demolished. The Palace survived as a variety theatre, apart from two years use as a cinema, until the late 1940s. It closed in 1956 and was demolished in 1958.
