Rear of the Park Plaza Hotel (site of the Biograph Cinema), Wilton Road, Victoria, London; 26.2.2017

As well as the coffee stall in Grosvenor Gardens, another place in Victoria frequented by Hannah Tailford was Tony’s Cafe on Wilton Road, said to have been adjacent to the Biograph Cinema. A 1983 photo shows a cafe right next to the cinema, while in another photo, also taken in 1983, but when the buildings were already in the process of demolition, a second cafe can be seen to the right of the cinema entrance. I am guessing one or other of these was the premises previously occupied by Tony's Cafe, but by 1983 it was called something different. The Park Plaza Hotel now stands on the site.
