Rio Cinema

An early 1900s hyper cute one screen cinema . They have cheap Mondays and lots of snacks to buy there.

Classic local cinema . Cosy and interesting building. Screen and sound quality is not amazing, but worth it for supporting local business. They play one main movie every week, and some single sessions.

£6 screenings on Monday will definitely drive you in the ancient Kingsland Empire cinema – now one of the last independent cinemas in town .

Favourite cinema in East London. An institution, playing indie films that are hard to find anywhere else.

I absolutely love the retro theme for this cinema , with plenty of seats, a great view of the screen from any vantage. Grab a wine/beer/coffee and settle in for a show!

Inde cinema with a good selection of movies .

Great local cinema featuring regular special events and guests. The best seats are downstairs but upstairs is fine. Try and book tickets in advance!

Love the Rio, great cinema with a lineup that never fails to offer something for everyone. Look out for the late night specials .

Local indie cinema . One of the only cinemas around actually. Make sure to be here early.

It should be noted that a slice of Victoria sponge is the very definition of a considerate cinema snack ; a lot less noisy and odour-offensive than an enormous tray of nachos or frankfurters. Read more

Book tickets online so that you can just pop into your reserved seat 15 minutes after the nominal showtime and miss most of the adverts!

Great selection of beers & good movies . Comfy seats

I love this place. Great set up that you must experience

Queues for the food and drink move very, *very* slowly. Give yourself plenty of time before the film starts.

Cool indie cinema . Toilets available at the front of the screen.

This cinema is a hidden treasure ! Beautiful and very comfy seats .

Great for cosy nights at the cinema with a special someone or Friends for that matter. :)

It's got a nice charm about it, but the seats are v. uncomfortable (maybe just for taller folk) and the sound quality is low.

Good quirky independent cinema .

Good indie cinema to watch good indie (as well as blockbuster) films . You can even have a beer ... Read more

A great independent cinema .

£6 tickets on Mondays, £10 double bills on Sundays

Great art house cinema I saw Gasper Noh's Enter the void here last week. Wow!

A proper neighbourhood cinema 103-107 Kingsland High Street, E8 2P

Great membership deal: 12 months/ £20, 2 free tickets when you join, £1 off normal ticket price.

I could accept an old-school cinema with bad sound & bad projection if it was cheap . But 9 quid!? And the projector broke so we had to leave before the film had started.

Make sure you come 15 minutes early to get a good seat!

Get the £20 membership, pays for itself very quickly.

Sunday afternoon double bills are great, as are the homemade cakes :)
