Hyde Park Picture House

Polly Checkland Harding Last Updated 27 June 2023

Leeds’ Hyde Park Picture House opened in 1914 and has offered an exclusive cinematic experience ever since. The Edwardian building has retained its classic facade along with many of its original features, including gas lighting – though guardians of the environment will be glad to hear that this is no longer in use. However, Hyde Park Picture House retains its unique atmosphere: let the attentive ushers guide you to a screen here and you won’t want to go anywhere else.
