Plaque

Lord Grade

Inscription

Lord Grade of Elstree, 1906 - 1998, impresario and pioneer of commercial television.
Comic Heritage

Site: London Palladium - interior (6 memorials)

W1, Argyll Street, 8

The Vaughan, Grade, Centenary and Crosby plaques are all in the foyer area. The Forsyth plaque is, we understand, under the stage. And the Tommy Steele plaque? When we visited in November 2023 we were told that it is in the bar area, access to which requires a ticket.
