A potted, and slightly personalised, history of the building is at Image, but it was originally built in the late 1920s as The Rink Cinema (in honour of a former icerink on the same site). It changed to The Gaumont, and then a Mecca Bingo venue from the mid 1960s, and was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101384947-mecca-bingo-club-soho-and-victoria-ward#.XRMRuOhKhPY & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1384947 in 2000. As the image linked above suggests, it's now available for hire, social events, weddings, discos, children's parties etc.
