The flamboyantly decorated interior, with a large auditorium and Rococo embellishments, has survived. In July 2010, the owner announced that it would cost £9 million to restore the building and convert it into a live music venue, and a charitable trust expressed concern over its future. Since 2011, several plans have been submitted to convert the building for alternative uses.
