Odeon Cinema, Camden Town

The Camden Town Odeon stands on Parkway just west of Britannia Junction. The name is often said to be an acronym for 'Oscar Deutsch entertains our nation' - Oscar Deutsch being the founder of the cinema chain. Whilst this is both amusing and apt, in fact the name was adopted from the original Odeion of Herodes Atticus, a theatre in classical Athens; the acronym was dreamt up later.
