The London Astoria (also known as Astoria Theatre) was a music venue, located at 157 Charing Cross Road, in London, England.
Originally a warehouse during the 1920s, the building became a cinema and ballroom. It was converted for use as a theatre in the 1970s. After further conversion, the building re-opened in the mid-1980s, as a night club and live music venue for well-known musical acts. In 2009 the venue closed, and was demolished as part of the development plans of the Crossrail project. The venue is still seen today as having been an iconic music establishment, as it helped to launch the careers of many British rock bands and also played a part in the UK success of many international acts.
In February 1994 The Smashing Pumpkins played a four-day residency at Astoria Theatre, recording and filming the live performances of "Soma" and "Silverfuck". These videos and recordings appears on Vieuphoria DVD and the Earphoria CD.
