Slight confusion here.
The address of the Classic on Kilburn High Road probably was 405. It was right up the top of the High Road, on the western side, next to Kilburn tube station – just about on the corner of Christchurch Avenue. Externally it was an ugly, metallic, sky blue box that loomed up by the railway line. I should think it was demolished in the late 1980s. The site is now a very spacious petrol station and a Spar store. Can’t see how a petrol station can afford to rent that much space, even if it is close to the bottom of the M1.
The Broadway was an entirely different beast. That was right down the bottom, on the eastern side, by Kilburn High Road British Rail station, right by Springfield Lane. It closed around ten years back. The site is now the 4-star hotel that didn’t mention Kilburn High Road in its brochures and promotional bumf when it opened.
