First opened on 19 April 1958 at 165 Oxford Street and then in 1964 moved to 90 Wardour Street, where it stayed until 1988. It was at 105-107 Charing Cross Road (a former cinema) from August 1988 - December 1995. It moved quite often after that but seems to have closed for good in 2008. The picture source website is a great resource.
