Happy 13th Birthday to The Olympic!
Thirteen years ago today, Olympic Studios began a new chapter as state-of-the-art independent cinema, thanks to a couple of Barnes locals and a community determined to protect its future.
Today, The Olympic continues to bring people together through film and music, with a new Recording Studio soon to open, continuing a musical legacy that includes The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, David Bowie, Queen and The Who.
To mark the occasion, we’re sharing a few photos from the transformation back in 2013. No small undertaking, as you’ll see!
Every ticket, meal, membership and visit helps keep The Olympic thriving. Thank you for being part of its story. Here’s to the next chapter.
