Slight confusion here.
The address of the Classic on Kilburn High Road probably was 405. It was right up the top of the High Road, on the western side, next to Kilburn tube station – just about on the corner of Christchurch Avenue. Externally it was an ugly, metallic, sky blue box that loomed up by the railway line. I should think it was demolished in the late 1980s. The site is now a very spacious petrol station and a Spar store. Can’t see how a petrol station can afford to rent that much space, even if it is close to the bottom of the M1.
The Broadway was an entirely different beast. That was right down the bottom, on the eastern side, by Kilburn High Road British Rail station, right by Springfield Lane. It closed around ten years back. The site is now the 4-star hotel that didn’t mention Kilburn High Road in its brochures and promotional bumf when it opened.

Hi Ken,
I didnt realise that is was at the bottom of the High rd near the Maida Vale Picturehouse, in the picture in malcolm webbs book Greater London’s Suburban Cinemas, there appears to be a railway bridge to the left of the cinema, so I thought it was at the top end of the High Rd near the Jubilee line Kilburn Station. In Malcolms book there is also a Classic cinema (former Envoy) that is listed as 405 Kilburn High Rd, but the current numbering stops around 390 of which I can find no trace, do you know where it was?
