The ABC Cinema (grid reference ST576742) is a historic building on Whiteladies Road in Clifton, Bristol, England.
It was built in 1920-21 as a cinema, called the Whiteladies Picture House by James Henry LaTrobe and Thomas Henry Weston and opened by the Duchess of Beaufort. In 1978, the large screen was done away with and the building split into three mini cinemas.
It formerly had a ballroom and restaurant, and now is offices and a public house, with plans for a gymnasium.
It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building.[1]
