Historic Venue Revived
The Golders Green Hippodrome, a Grade II listed venue with a rich history dating back to 1913, has undergone a remarkable transformation over the years. Originally built as a 3,000-seat variety theater by Bertie Crewe to cater to the expanding Northern line into Golders Green, the Hippodrome has hosted acclaimed performers such as Laurence Olivier, Marlene Dietrich, and even a young Sir Ian McKellen in his early West End debut.
After serving as a television and radio studio for the BBC in the late 1960s, the Hippodrome faced a period of neglect following the broadcaster’s departure in 2003. Placed on English Heritage’s register of buildings at risk, the venue found a new lease on life when it was acquired by the El Shaddai Christian Centre in 2007, undergoing extensive renovations to become a place of worship.
Subsequent ownership changes led to the Hippodrome’s current custodians, Hillsong Church, a vibrant Christian congregation dedicated to restoring the venue’s former glory. Today, the Hippodrome stands as a testament to resilience and reinvention, offering a diverse range of performances and events to the community.
