While the elevation
of this theatre which fronts onto Charing Cross Road looks
rather drab, the art deco interior, which was designed by
the Russian director and designer Theodore Komisarjevsky, is
fantastic. In the 1970's the entrance to the theatre was
moved from Charing Cross Road to Phoenix Street, while the
Advance Box Office is half-way between the two in Charing
Cross Road. In 1986 part of the adjacent car park, which had
been a former bomb site, was used to build a cinema, but
this has now been demolished to make way for a residential
development. Karl Marx once lived in this building, one of
the oldest in Soho. But its claim to fame in the 20th
century was as "Leoni's Quo Vadis", one of London's most
respected Italian restaurants founded in the 1930s by
Peppino Leoni. The charm of the ground floor restaurant with
its stained glass windows and simple interior has been
restored and a menu devised whose range and quality have won
instant acclaim. The striking works of art displayed around
the restaurant are created in homage to such luminaries as
Lucio Fontana and Alberto Giacometti. |
