@ Davepring.. I hate to say it NOT just Rank…. The March of the Multiplex…. Gone are the days when Cinemas where run by people with passion for what they do… They are now sweet shops that also show films…
So many of Ranks former cinemas are now derelict eyesores
Six photographs that I took of the Pavilion in April 2009:

The upstairs screen was seen in a Derren Brown show on Channel 4 a while back. A group of public and showbiz people were taken blindfolded to a mystery location for a show by Derren that was televised. Eagle eyed cinema buffs should have spotted the location at once.
I drive past this building every day. Such a waste to see it sitting there, gradually falling apart….
Despite plans being approved in 2004 for a hotel in the this Grade II Listed building, nothing has happened as yet. It sits empty and derelict and has been added to the ‘Buildings at Risk’ register by English Heritage.
A close-up view of the former Pavilion (Odeon) Shepherds Bush as seen in October 2005. On the immediate left of the shot is part of the facade of the former Pykes Cinematograph Theatre (latterly known as Odeon 2 Shepherds Bush):

The bingo operation in the former stalls area closed in 2001. As at June 2004, plans have been approved to convert the Grade II listed building into a 182 bedroomed hotel.
