Fantastic cinema with comfy seats , plenty of legroom and a couple of excellent bars attached. Membership is more than worth it.

Amazing feel to the place. They really manage to justify the ticket price. Went to see Macbeth and was surprised with all the props from the movie around the place!

Great new cinema with comfortable chairs and excellent sound system . The bar on the first floor is a nice place to chill before or after the movie .

Bets cinema in town . The membership is well worth it, since it gives you access to the amazing rooftop , free cinema tickets and more.

This is the way to go to the cinema . If you are a VIP member, be sure to get up on the roof terrace and take in the extraordinary view .

Pricey but genuinely worth it - lovely screens, comfy seats (the sofas at the back!) and sympathetic (re-)design of a lovely building

Love it here. Arrive nice and early for your movie so you can enjoy a few drinks at the bar or even grab a bite to eat.

Screens are smaller than the cineworld. Comfy bar area, although the food & drinks are pricey . Don't get the chilli , two small wedges of cornbread for a basin full of bland chilli £12.50.

Unlike all cinema in London , this one dosent smell like old sucks. Excellent cinema but ofcourse a bit pricy

Stavroula Konidari

Great cinema

Hellen Benavides

The view is awesome, but they don't serve food. For a members club it's a pitty.
