Chiesa di Santa Teresa
Santa Teresa is a late‑Baroque church and former Discalced Carmelite complex in Lecce.
Founded with the convent in the 17th century, the church presents a restrained Lecce‑stone façade compared to Santa Croce, with classical orders and modest ornament. Inside, it follows a Latin‑cross plan with side chapels, carved stone altars, and paintings aligned to Carmelite devotion (St Teresa of Ávila and St Joseph). The adjacent convent buildings later saw secular use; today the church remains a functioning parish space with periodic services and concerts.

Granada Tooting
The Granada Tooting, now known as the Buzz Bingo Tooting. It opened in 1931, designed by Cecil Massey with a famously extravagant interior created by Theodore Komisarjevsky.
It's a Grade I listed building and one of the finest surviving examples of a 1930s super-cinema in the country.
