Humphrey's Hall

Humphrey's Hall was neither a theatre nor a music hall, but an exhibition hall built as part of and at the rear of the Albert Gate mansions development. Its only claim for inclusion is that for its most successful exhibition, the Japanese Village, the disused Sun Music Hall (q.v.) was annexed as a Japanese theatre.
