Rumour has it the deal was settled prior to Mecca’s departure on 19 July. The church is the same one that occupies the Regal at Camberwell. Mecca had a 50-year lease from 2 February 1976 so whether it was purchased or is leased I don’t know.
The congregation concerned is the Sunday Assembly who meet to celebrate the wonders of life. Launched in October 2013 it probably only used the hall a few times as it now meets on Summerhall. The former cinema has also been used as the Laughing Horse venue in the Edinburgh Fringe.

Yes,it has been demolished. St Mary’s Church built a new church on the site.
Gala bingo have moved out of the stalls and the V2V church (Victory 2 Victory) have moved in.
Address may not be correct as 40 New Street is listed as a Spar supermarket, the cinema/church is further along the road.
