Unknown user says
"people standing outside a building - Alhambra Theatre?" - yes, it's the former Alhambra Theatre at Leicester Square, now demolished.
What we're seeing here are the queues for a private screening of the film "The Symbol of Sacrifice" on 13 September 1918, (allowing a reduction of the current date range).
"The Symbol of Sacrifice" was an Africa-made film about the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879.
