The academy then moved to a church building in Lamb's Conduit Street (at #14). However, during World War II, the academy was bombed, destroying all early records.

In 1981, the academy started running Junior and Musical Theatre courses in Islington. The BA (Hons) Acting and CertHe Intro to Acting courses continued to be delivered from the Avondale site in Clapham. In August 2022, all courses moved to Woking.
