anything remain of this facade?

After demolition of this part of the building, there may still be fragments of the facade hidden behind the current hoardings. It had been 'modernised' over the years>>>see other photo when it was the entrance to the Top Rank Bingo Club.

Great photo.
The lamps on the facade probably pulled more watts than the lamp on the projector!

In a side road was a skating rink. This was eventually incorporated in to the cinema, akthoguh the entrance as shown remained. Befor eBingo it was known as the Gaumont, and prioor to that I think, The Rink Cinema. I was taken by an uncle to see an Old Mother Riley film there. stephen wischhusen

Fantastic. Love seeing old London.
So this theatre is now a Lidl, if I'm imagining it's in the place I think it is.

You are correct, Lidl supermarket now stands on the site. The building was demolished, but the (later) main auditorium still survives at the rear, in use as a bowling alley.
