Queens Cinema, Westbourne Park London
Queens Cinema, Westbourne Park London.
Today I walked a part of London I rarely do – Westbourne Park – and stumbled across this old Art Deco cinema. I had brought my camera for just such an occasion. Five years ago it was a TGI Friday and before that an ABC Cinema (the cinema closed in 1988 and the last film it showed was Coming to America). The ABC cinema put an enormous blue grill on the front and although this was a less than attractive look it means this beautiful facade is better preserved.
More information on this building can be found at Cinema Treasures.

Just for the record my sister workedin thi cinema years ago she is now 81 years young
Oh my goodness Jim. I would love to ask her a few questions! I edit a film magazine and would love to publish an interview with her. It wouldn’t necessarily have to be in person. A written response to questions would be fab if in person isn’t possible. Let me know if this is of interest at all!
And thank you for the comment!
I will speak to her and ask her if you can have her phone num she also worked in the ladies hairdressers just round the corner in porchester terrace
Awesome thanks so much! š
