1 DAY AGO - #ThrowbackThursday to a night at the pictures in Balham in 1938! This was the sight greeting movie-goers to the old Art Deco Odeon cinema which was situated on Balham Hill (where Majestic Wine now stands). And inside, a stunning foyer and staircase to take visitors to their seats.
The cinema opened with ‘Blondes for Danger’ in April 1938 and was operational in its Odeon guise right through to September 1972, closing with ‘Shaft’s Big Score’ and ‘No Blade of Grass.’
From 1974 to 1979 it was a cinema showing asian films, called the Liberty. Then in the early 1980s the auditorium was demolished for flats (hence the name, Foyer Apartments), but the facade and front section were retained and became one of the first Majestic Wine Warehouses.

5 HRS AGO - Today is the 75th anniversary of Victory in Japan Day, which marked the end of World War Two. South London Press have interviewed 97 year-old Felicity Medland, originally from Balham, who was a member of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (the regiment which HM The Queen joined) from 1941 to 1945 – the photo is of Felicity in her ATS uniform.
Felicity's family home was in Childerbert Road, she went to Ravenstone School and her father owned a printers and stationers shop opposite Du Cane Court. She tells the newspaper's Toby Porter about her life in Balham before the war and about the 'terrible mistake' which saw her join the war effort. Read her fascinating story via the link in our bio.

Claire, Sophie and Barnaby take on 65 miles for the Young Onset Dementia Support Group

1 DAY AGO - Claire, Sophie and their wonderful dog Barnaby will be cycling 65 miles on Saturday 15 August in support of St George’s Hospital Charity which is set to be a scorching 33 degrees.
They have chosen 65 miles because they are raising money for the Young Onset Dementia Support Group which is held at St George’s Hospital, Tooting.
Receiving a diagnosis of dementia at any age is a life-changing event; however for those under 65 it can be particularly difficult. Many people still have their children at home and the impact on the whole family can be huge. Claire and Sophie know all too well about this as their mum was diagnosed 2 years ago with a very rare form of young onset dementia and they felt completely lost. They said “We had no idea how to proceed and what we could do to help her out.”
They were referred to the St George’s Hospital Young Onset Dementia Group which is funded by St George’s Hospital Charity and it has changed their life.
They said: Collapse
