Mallory Napolitano

Great independent cinema , and awesome beer selection ! Fun screenings and cheap tickets, amazing value for central London

Chaffro

One of the best maintained indie cinemas anywhere. If you love the medium of film , really ought to see what's showing on any given night. Probably better than anything around the corner on the Square.

Aiden Fernandez

Amazing venue - super air conditioned today (high 20's & beer sweats made this a haven in London!) & super comfortable seats . Also, when available, take advantage of the bacon rolls! 10/10 venue.

The screen may not the the largest, neither the box office glitziest, but the seats beat theatre seats for a mile around. When you feel like you've missed that fine film , you can catch it at The PCC

Emily-jane

Fab independent cinema in Leicester Square! They do movie marathons , sing-along versions of films and movies that you might have missed at the cinema ! Full bar , reasonably priced tickets!

Jason H.

Cool theater showing classic films . Quirky - screen a little small and got it bit crowded but an interesting place to check out regardless

Jodie Santer

An amazing cinema with lots of character and some great screenings. Keep an eye out for The Room - it's an incredible cinema experience!

Chris R (thechristophe)

A lovely cinema , the downstairs cinema is excellent. Felt like the screen could be bigger though...

Talita Anjos

Best Cinema EVER! The place is nice and filled with good people. It really feels like home. I wish I had something like that in Brazil!

Matt Taylor

Auditorium seats are extremely comfortable with high backs and retractable arm rests. Main screen sits on a slight incline so the better seats are actually near the front.

BrokeinLondon.com

It is one of the cheapest cinema in whole London. By paying £10 annually or £50 for lifetime membership you become a member and watch movies for £4 and £6.

Monika

Best cinema ever! Wonderful selection of films on offer and Singalonga's are a must. Friendly staff too.

c0uP

Super cheerful staff , extremely comfortable seats , and an eclectic selection of films ! If I lived here, I'd clearly buy the membership.

Holly Priestland

Fantastic Indie cinema with loads of excellent theme nights. Way more fun then the standard Leicester Square cinemas !

Sarah Taylor

Gorgeous old cinema with a lovely feel to it. Creates a great atmosphere for their special screenings

Ruth Banbury

Seats downstairs are a bit small for an all nighter , but it has a fab atmosphere

Heather Robertson

Take a chance on one of the double bills, they're almost always really well chosen and you get double the films for less than the cost of a single for the multiplexes round the corner.

Laura McInerney

If the film is popular you may need to queue up outside before opening, so bring an umbrella in case of rain!

Thrash Hits

A Lifetime Membership costs £50 and then you can watch films for as little as £1.50. We've seen loads of band documentaries in here but we do miss the plush loveseats :( Read more

Become a member. Support the cause. And go during the day midweek. Dead quiet and you can sit anywhere

Robert Eklund

Great cinema , lovely staff and the monthly programme is always well planned.

Lee Chrimes

Great place - very varied and pleasing selection of filns, some amazing combo days and top quality projection too.

Marco Lopes

A real "old school" cinema experience. If you love cinema , you'll want to go to the Prince Charles Cinema.

Sophie Garnier

Comfy seats , great friendly atmosphere every time. I've seen Grease, the spice girls movie and Frozen.

Dan Hopchet ✨

great for themed cinema nights, and so centrally located. The sing-a-longs are very well done

Forjust £ 8 you can catch most films just after they’ve finished being shown at mainstream cinemas . Read more

Magdalena Mrázková

Great location, comfy chairs and great selection of movies ! Love it!

AnyTrip

One of the cheapest cinemas in London , with amazing rates if you're a member and cult film-a-thons. Love the kitsch red leather seats.

Andrea Lazzarini

My favorite independent cinema . They always organize themed events and movie marathons

Robert Bridge

Get one of those membership card thingies it fits in your wallet or girls leave it in your minature purse whenever you in West End pop in for a nostalgic movie and relax and save a couple of quid. Read more

Asma Albatli

Well , the cinema is so special, it is specialized in classic movies ???? ❤️

Kevin McCulley

Wonderful independent show bf classics from through the ages. Look out for the movie marathons !

Tolga Sarıgöl

İts great place for me last 15 years that place like a time machine when i get inside i am traviling to past ????

Javier Pascual

They cut the movies at the end!! I went to see Little Moscow and as soon the credits appeared they turned on the lights and cut the movie . That´s a cult movie theatre???

Diana Bridgman

See anything, the atmosphere of true movie lovers is unbeatable.

Lolly Recluse Colony

Can't decide whether you want sweet or salted popcorn ? They give you a mixed bag! :D

Seamus McQuaid

Great venue with a eclectic range of films

Jack Hardy

Super comfy , Affordable and an awesome selection of movies ! Get membership and get yourself to PCC!

Senite8

Best cinema ever period.

James Thompson

For film listings see www.princecharlescinema.com. All other websites (including foursquare) consistently get the films and times wrong.

Kaylie M

Seats are comfortable but high, too high for someone of 5ft2 to see over easily.

Est D

Pretty much my favourite place in London. Amazing film selection, great value & just a fantastic place to get away from it all.

Dan

Abit odd having to look up in the downstairs cinema .

Xavier Brinon

Just awesome. Plenty of cult classics and has pleasing ticket prices. 7 Leicester Place, WC2H

Vic McGin

Movie marathons and arthouse films galore! Really reasonably priced too!

James Elliott

Another vote for membership. £50 for a lifetime is no bad deal for an already cheap cinema . Monday night double bills are the best thing since sliced pig :)

Jenn Baltazar

Oh dear..for the 100th times..another frozen movie !!! Kids loving it :)

Olivia

Come here to watch old films and marathons and sing-alongs.

Rory Parle

A year's membership is £10, which you can make up in savings from only three or four visits.
