What's left of it I assume!
this made me laugh, prolly for the wrong reasons....can't for the life of me think where this place is which is strange...

London's flagship variety theatre, the Hackney Empire, has staged its last show before it closes for at least nine months, following financial problems. More than 150 youngsters aged between five and 18 took part in the Anna Fiorentini Theatre and Film School variety show on Sunday.
The theatre's chief executive, Claire Middleton, ordered the closure "for a period of reflection". However, she said the venue would definitely reopen. BBC
The management must be fucking useless, they've just spent a small fortune renovating the place and now it's shutting down again. I read some scurrilous rumours about behind-the-scenes bickering but can't remember the details.
I don't know the ins and outs of it all but I'll bet that place is an expensive venue to run. Real shame it's closing - there's always a risk the money doesn't get found and it doesn't open, by which time repairs are needed, which costs more money...London's flagship variety theatre, the Hackney Empire, has staged its last show before it closes for at least nine months, following financial problems.

yes, it opened several years ago for some homophobic yankee preachers.Not to mention the fate of the "Ocean" gig venue opposite - has that ever actually reopened, after having about 10 gigs c.2001?
Also hosts the Pigs Ear beer festival in December. Again, it's a really brilliant venue going to waste most of the time thoughyes, it opened several years ago for some homophobic yankee preachers.
of course it's absolutely nothing to do with the big building over the way from the oceanAlso hosts the Pigs Ear beer festival in December. Again, it's a really brilliant venue going to waste most of the time though
According to the hackney gazette website,the ship aground pub on Lea bridge rd has been closed by the police, due to wrong un activity there,the pub is being sold. Only been in it a couple of times, seemed a bit empty tbh. It's probably going to be Converted for housing.
