Arthur H. Beavan continued his survey of London's theatres, in Imperial London, published in 1901, with this look at the London Pavilion:

The London Pavilion, Piccadilly Circus, is another popular Variety theatre, even in summer, when the sliding roof ensures coolness.

It has recently been entirely reconstructed, upon the most approved modern principles, and furnished literally regardless of expense.

From its position, the London Pavilion never fails to attract all sorts and conditions of men.

Here are seen from time to time, such miscellaneous wonders as performing animals, ventriloquists, white-eyed musical Kaffirs, strong men, strong women, vital sparks, equilibrists, champion cyclists, and skaters, in addition to the usual music hall attractions.
