The Charing Cross Music Hall was established beneath the arches of Charing Cross railway station in 1866 by brothers Giovanni and Carlo Gatti to replace the former Hungerford Hall. The site had been acquired together with Hungerford Market by the South Eastern Railway in 1862 and incorporated into the railway station which opened on 11 January 1864 resulting in the demolition of the hall.
