Hope For New Empire

New CinemaFollowing a local campaign to rebuild the partially demolished Empire cinema opposite Ealing Town Hall, it looks as if we may at last see some action. Revised plans for the redesign of the Empire were sent to local groups for comment and planning permission was granted in late 2011. Empire’s Chief Executive, Justin Ribbons, has told the Ealing Gazette they would “soon be able to commence work” on a state of the art 20 screen complex including Empire Cinemas’ large screen format, known as Impact. The site has remained cleared apart from the supported facade since February 2009.
