From the Wikipedia article
Safari Cinema was an entertainment venue at 225 London Road in Broad Green, Croydon. It was opened in 1936, and closed in 2004.

It was previously known as the Savoy (1936-1958), ABC Croydon (1958-1986) and the Cannon (1986-late 1990s).

Post-war building restrictions were still in force and it reopened with a utilitarian appearance on 27 December 1953. In July 1958 it closed to allow a more extensive reconstruction to take place. When it reopened as the ABC on 19 October, it had 2,118 seats and was lavishly appointed. Tripling caused the next closure, from May to November 1972.…
