Odeon Cinema, Fortis Green Road, Muswell Hill, Haringey, Greater London Authority - The central strip laylight and curved ceiling and front of the auditorium in the Odeon Cinema, viewed from the front centre of the circle. The Odeon Cinema opened in 1936. The exterior design of the building was restricted and subdued due to opposition from the church located opposite; the interior was therefore designed to compensate. The auditorium is described as being "the most elaborate interior of any Odeon cinema to survive". The central laylight, which runs down the centre of the ceiling towards the curved front, is designed as a stylised strip of film. The auditorium was divided into three screens in 1974, with the stalls seating being unused. In 2016 two pod screens were built in the circle, while the former stalls were brought back into use and, along with the front of the circle, formed a new screen
