Long-term lease confirmed for Wolverhampton Arts Centre - BBC

The celebrated Prince Charles repertory cinema in London’s Leicester Square has announced that the threat of closure has been staved off by signing a new 25-year lease with its landlords. In a post on social media titled “You Saved the PCC”, the cinema said that “after 21 months of uncertainty, we’re delighted to have secured the future of the cinema” and that they had “signed a new 25-year lease with no break clause, ensuring our projectors will keep rolling for years to come”. The cinema also expressed its gratitude for the “support, commitment and belief of many, many people”. In January 2025, the Prince Charles launched a petition, claiming that its landlord, Zedwell LSQ Ltd (owned by developer Criterion Capital) was trying to “bully us out of the building” by demanding a break clause in its lease, due for renewal in September 2025. The break clause would have enabled Zedwell to give the cinema six months’ notice if it had other plans for the site. At the time, Criterion Capital denied that it was attempting to intimidate or disadvantage the cinema.

A a man died of a freak accident on the property on Friday during a walking tour.

Selected as the winning proposal for the inaugural Pabellón MEM competition, the project investigates how an existing architectural structure can become visually imperceptible while maintaining its physical footprint.all images ©errre tallerCONCEALED STEEL FRAMING FORMS MONOLITHIC SKYWARD PAVILIONThe intervention by studio errre taller wraps the 6.40 × 6.40-meter cube in a reflective envelope composed of 3 mm mirror-finish acrylic panels. The standard 1.22 × 2.44-meter sheets are combined with 76 cm cut sections to maximize material efficiency while maintaining surface continuity. The panels are attached using double-sided tape and silicone to a light-gauge metal stud-and-track framing system supported by an interior wooden sub-structure fixed to the original PTR steel frame. To preserve the illusion of a monolithic volume, a single access portal is positioned discreetly on the less prominent west face.
