The iconic West End picture house which has been around since the Sixties and is one of the few independent cinemas in central London, is in jeopardy of redevelopment by its landlord Zedwell LSQ Ltd and its parent company Criterion Capital.

If a break clause is included in the new lease, it would allow the landlord to terminate the rental contract and kick out the PCC at any time.
