I was there for the 1st Hong Kong Film Festival UK, and I am delightfully surprised by the size and interior of this cinema. Not only it is way bigger than I expected, there were food stalls, and nice spaces for display or exhibition purposes. I was also told Theater 1(the one I was in) sits over 350 people, and it looks and feels very spacious and comfortable.

Great, low-key cinema in East London.

Good selection of films, cheap ticket prices with plenty of lovely but, expensive treats including freshly made popcorn from an old school popcorn machine and a great Pik N Mix.

The building is classically decorated and has an art deco feel to it, the chairs are comfy but low/deep so kids (or maybe even you) will likely need a cushion (there are plenty at the back stacked up in each screen). The screens are not the biggest but are ok and the sound system is basic but effective and loud enough.

The staff are friendly and helpful.

All in all a good, low-key (still busy though) and traditional cinema not far from Shoreditch to go see a film.

Would recommend checking out if you want somewhere more classic and less commercial with a light arty feel in East London.

Lovely cinema, the screen in the studio is a bit small. I would appreciate it if the person in the projector room could watch their YouTube with headphones while screening the film. I could hear it throughout the whole film. The seats are very comfortable, and I really like the ottomans provided.

What a local gem! Absolutely love it here. Seats are comfy, audio is great and screen is of good quality. Drink and food options are great and prices reasonably. They also have acoustic gigs every once in a while. Definitely a must visit!

My new favourite cinema in London.
I visited today to watch The Many Saints of Newark (Sopranos Film).
It has a cozy vibe, good screen size, comfy seating, wide selection of snacks and staff are very friendly.
Tickets are £5.50 from Monday to Thursday and £10.50 from Friday to Sunday (peak hours).

Highly recommend. Will be visiting again soon.

This movie theatre is so cool and different, because it has a lot of style. The screen is not that big and the seats feel kind of old, but somehow that just makes it cozy. I would definitely recommend!

Outstanding independent cinema theatre.

Great selection of current blockbuster films.

The seating in the baby screenings is more comfortable than home.

I'm so glad this place exists as it is a much more worth while experience than any Cineworld or VUE cinema and much better value.

Excellent cafe to the front of the premises that boasts very comfortable seating and an array of café choices and lots of vegan options.

Lots of movie treats available such as popcorn, nachos and even pick and mix sweets.

Really friendly and pleasant staff who make you feel very welcome.

Well worth a visit.

5 stars well deserved.
