The New Gallery Cinema

Cinema which was located at the New Gallery building in Regent Street in London, UK. Operated as a cinema between 1913 and 1953. The building is now a Grade II listed building. In 1925 a Wurlitzer Opus 1034 organ was installed there, which was renovated and restored to its original condition in 2006. The new Habitat store opened on 28th April 2006 with the Wurlitzer being played throughout the day by Richard Hills. Regular concerts on the instrument took place between 2006-8 and again between 2010-11. During this time the instrument was also featured on national radio and television. In early 2011 it was announced that the New Gallery would become one of the flagship stores in the Burberry chain, and Habitat vacated the premises in March 2011. As of Nov 2021 it was still a Burberry store but the instrument is back in storage [https://www.cinema-organs.org.uk/venues/new-gallery-burberry-store/]
