I think you must be thinking of the former Empire Cinema, Ealing Broadway (ex-Forum, ABC, Virgin, UGC etc)which was demolished (apart from the facade) in 2009 to make way for a multiplex which was never built. Work has now started on the development site which is due to include an 8-screen Picturehouse complex albeit in a different location from the original cinema.

A beautiful building which thankfully still exists as a church albeit altered internally when converted to a nightclub in the 1980s. Does anyone know what happened to the three manual Compton organ which was apparently removed after a flood in the 1970s?
