Indie cinema , dance shoes and Open mic etc Upstairs at Ritzy. A must! Get your membership card and use it for discounted cinema tickets and ten off in bar and restaurant !

Nice bar on the balcony upstairs. The cinema itself is characterful and often has special guest screenings. The high ceilings contribute to a considerably grander experience than your usual multiplex .

Book online in advance to avoid the queues. Then just walk up to the screen door, show the e-ticket on your phone & head straight in. Oh and don't tell anyone but the upstairs bar has a cool balcony .

Fun, retro movie theatre with two bars and a restaurant . Get the burger , don't be a n00b.

Daniel Wallace

Lovely old cinema where you can get a beer and watch a great film . Staff are really friendly too. Highly recommended

Tessa Deterding

Gorgeous little cinema with a great bar

Alexandra L.

My favourite cinema in London. Well worth the membership to enjoy films here as often as possible!

Si Bay

If you go before 5pm on Wednesday and use a orange Wednesday code it works out that you can see a film for about £3.50p which is value for money at any time.

Evening Standard

The Ritzy marries comfortable theatre-feel screening rooms and a chilled out bar/cafe to great effect. Expect a healthy mix of box-office hits and European independents. Read more

Brilliant cinema , I love it. Watch out for the "popcorn police " - you're not allowed to bring in food and drinks from outside!

Tânia Martins

The early sessions are the best, because you can have the whole cinema for yourself! They do Orange Wednesday !

Beauty Soul

I love this cinema . I don't get to go as much as I used to but it is always a joy. Great cafe and bar too.

The best destination for film geekery. We've enjoyed some of Edgar Wright based fun here. Food is amazing too. Brixton Oval, Coldharbour Lane, SW2 1

Indie cinema . Nice bar where you can grab a beer before the movie

Alistair

Comfortable arty cinema . Nice oasis of calm in Brixton.

Rodrigo Lebrun

Perhaps one of the best independent cinemas in London . But even if you're crazy enough not to enjoy films , you can still find good music and food at the Upstairs Bar .

Margarita Hamster

One of the most photogenic cinema halls

K

Super comfy seats . Nice cafe area too if you manage to get a table.

Ask for a beer and plastic glass to enjoy with your movie .

Become a member; if you see only 3 or 4 films per year you've already made your money back.

Andrew Smallwood

Scale 3 flights of steps to get to the rooftop bar . No cinema ticket needed

Screen one is beautiful especially if you get to go on a weekday when it's quieter . Be cautious when ordering breakfast...I'm avoiding their poached eggs .
