 A noted music hall entrepreneur of this time was Carlo Gatti who built a music hall , known as Gatti 's , at Hungerford Market in 1857 . He sold the music hall to South Eastern Railway in 1862 , and the site became Charing Cross railway station . With the proceeds from selling his first music hall , Gatti acquired a restaurant in Westminster Bridge Road , opposite The Canterbury music hall . He converted the restaurant into a second Gatti 's music hall , known as " Gatti 's @-@ in @-@ the @-@ Road " , in 1865 . It later became a cinema . The building was badly damaged in the Second World War , and was demolished in 1950 . In 1867 , he acquired a public house in Villiers Street named " The Arches " , under the arches of the elevated railway line leading to Charing Cross station . He opened it as another music hall , known as " Gatti 's @-@ in @-@ The @-@ Arches " . After his death his family continued to operate the music hall , known for a period as the Hungerford or Gatti 's Hungerford Palace of Varieties .
