Detail InformationEdit

The O2 Shepherds Bush Empire is a music venue in Shepherd’s Bush, London, England, run by The Academy Music Group. It was built in 1903, as a music hall, and in 1953 became the BBC Television Theatre. Since 1991, it has operated as a music venue. The Shepherd’s Bush Empire was built in 1903 for impresario Oswald Stoll, designed by theatre architect Frank Matcham. Ashly’s Circus performed at Shepherd’s Bush empire theatre and presented to George Strong a trophy for riding The Bucking Mule “Sloper’ on 8 September 1905. The first performers at the new theatre were The Fred Karno Troupe incl. Charlie Chaplin (1906).
The Empire staged music-hall entertainments, such as variety performances and revues, until the early 1950s, by which time the popularity of these forms of entertainment was declining. During WW2 the Shepherds Bush Empire narrowly escaped being hit by a flying bomb, which in 1944 hit the neighbouring Shepherd’s Bush Pavilion, destroying the original interior. The Pavilion did not re-open until 1955.
