Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Safari Cinema (formerly The Savoy, ABC Croydon and Cannon) was at 225 London Road in Broad Green, Croydon. During part of its life it was owned by the Associated British Cinemas chain. Opened on March 9, 1936, the ABC-owned Savoy was designed by William R. Glen and seated 2,300. It was a fair distance from the town centre. Lighting in the large spacious auditorium was entirely indirect, mainly from troughs on the ceiling. On March 31, 1953 an electrical fault resulted in a fire that totally destroyed the auditorium. Post-war building restrictions were still in force and the repaired Savoy reopened with a utilitarian appearance on December 27, 1953. In July 1958 it closed to allow a more extensive reconstruction to take place. When it reopened as the ABC on October 19, it held 2118 and was lavishly appointed.
