The Adelphi is still standing (in use for bingo) but is located much further along Bath Road than indicated in this listing. Try SL1 3UA on StreetView – south side of the road, adjacent to Adelphi Gardens (naturally).

As the building is, architecturally, a shadow of its former self and furthermore has been messily subdivided, it seems inevitable that the land will be sold off and the building destroyed.
