The 400 Club
The building was originally home to the Cranbourne Club, then part of it became a cinema in 1909, with a basement tearoom.These included Battle of Britain pilots, one of whom, Brian Kingcome, recollected in his memoirs spending time at " .the Four Hundred, whose dimly lit dance floor and seductive music were excellent backdrops for young men in uniform trying their luck with the 'I'm off to war tomorrow and may never come back' routine ."[3] There was an 18-piece orchestra, and it was a favourite of Princess Margaret from the early 1950s, with the table used by her and her friends being known as "The Royal Box".[1] In 1992, the cinema became part of the Wetherspoon's pub The Moon under Water, with the basement a nightclub called Storm and later Club Koo.
