Streatham Hill, looking north at the Locarno Dance Hall (1929) in the left foreground, and the Streatham Hill Theatre (1928) beyond, part of an entertainment complex built along Streatham High Road c.1930. The Armistice Ball seen advertised, was held at the Locarno in November 1930, when it was one of the most popular purpose built dance halls in South London. It was renamed The Cat's Whiskers in 1970 and has had many changes to its name and appearance since then. Streatham Theatre also underwent changes and is at present a bingo hall.
