The Royal Aquarium and Winter Garden was a place of amusement in Westminster, London, opening in 1876. It was located immediately to the west of Westminster Abbey on Tothill Street. The building was designed by Alfred Bedborough in a highly ornamental style faced with Portland stone. At the west end of the building was the Aquarium Theatre – in 1879 named the Imperial Theatre. Methodist Central Hall is now located on the site. (Wikipedia)……… (BELOW from The Theatres Trust, UK) Postcard showing the façade and sidewall of The Royal Aquarium in Westminster, London.
