FLICKER ALLEY - CINEMA IN WW1: GUIDED WALK

The walk was conducted for the CTA by qualified tour guide Chris Everett. Members were guided through Cecil Court, adopted as the centre by the early film pioneers (‘Flicker Alley’) and Leicester Square and, as the film industry expanded, moved on to see how it migrated to parts of Soho including Wardour Street, Gerrard Street and Soho Square, pointing out the relevant buildings with their background history.
