Designed by Frank Matcham and opened in 1904 under Sir Oswald Stoll's vision, it aimed to be a premier venue for a variety of entertainment, embodying the ethos of 'Pro Bono Publico' – for the public good. Through the tumultuous years of World War II, the Coliseum served a vital role, transforming into a canteen for ARP wardens and hosting historic moments like Winston Churchill's speech from its stage. Post-war, the theater underwent transformations, briefly serving as a cinema before reclaiming its identity in 1968 as the London Coliseum.
