The Windsor Theatre was built in 1937 by W.H Ralph and Sons and was officially opened on 10 September 1937 by the Chairman of the Nedlands Road Board, Mr. Bennett, and the theatre had a seating capacity of 800, the largest in the district at the time.

The cinema shared a bio-box with the picture gardens and this was a world first design for architect, William T. Leighton, who developed the concept of a projecting wing to the main bio-box.

Sometime during the 1970s, a fire struck the cinema. The cinema was restored, but closed on September 24, 1983. The venue was purchased by Roger and Chrissie Hunt & Cyril Watson. They built a second indoor cinema where the gardens used to be, and re-opened the cinema in November 1988.

One of the largest inner-city parks in the world, Kings Park and Botanic Garden covers 400 hectares of Perth's heart with serene natural bushland and sculpted gardens.
