Thanks for the additional information Bruce;
I have made the amendments to the introduction. Can you let us know the seating capacity of the downstairs auditorium to complete the information on the building, as we list it as movies and live performances.

Ken Roe commented about New Eco Cinema in Northwest London on Sep 9, 2008 at 11:07 am

Kensal Rise is an district in the North-West of London. There were once two cinemas on Chamberlyne Road, the Odeon which closed in 1970 and was demolished for a petrol station to be built and the Palace(ABC) closed in 1974 and later demolished for housing.

Both have their own pages here on Cinema Treasures:
Odeon:
/theaters/15212/
Palace(ABC):
/theaters/15210/

I wish the new Lexi Cinema every success when it opens.
