Ian; The original Odeon Haverstock Hill had a central entrance flanked by a parade of shops and flats on each side. These were retained when the Odeon was demolished. The original centrally located entrance to the Odeon was also demolished and a new entrance was built which forms the entrance to the supermarket built on the auditorium plot. The current Screen on the Hill uses one of the original Odeon Parade shop units as its entrance, hence the familiar creme faiance tiles, which Odeon were noted for.

An internet search comes up with two names for the former Laurel Theater address. ‘Thomas E’ and ‘The Jokes on Us’ comedy club. Looking at the photograph, I would say that the Laurel Cinema Cafe only occupies a former retail outlet and the main theatre is either some kind of bar, nightclub or comedy club.
