caption_attribution_description: English: Golders Green Hippodrome Opened in 1913, this old music hall, then theatre, has had an illustrious history as venue for many famous plays (pre and post their London tours), BBC concerts and shows, boxing, filming, opera, rock music and so on. When the BBC vacated it in 2003 its condition deteriorated and it was considered 'at risk'. Hopes that it might once again become an entertainment centre were dashed when it was acquired by the El-Shaddai evangelical Christians for 5 million pounds.

context_page_description: The Golders Green Hippodrome was built in 1913 by Bertie Crewe as a 3,000-seat music hall, to serve North London and the new London Underground Northern line expansion into Golders Green in the London Borough of Barnet, London, England.
  Taken over by the BBC in the 1960s as a television studio, it has been put to more recent use as a radio studio and multi-purpose concert venue. In 2007, it became an evangelical church building. Since 2017, it has been an Islamic centre.
