Ever wondered how great it'd be to be able to catch your all-time favourite film on the big screen again even though it was released 8/15/20 years ago? Or even if you've been so busy lately and have completely missed the latest film by your favourite director or featuring your number one actor crush...
Luckily, tucked down a small, dark road just off of Leicester square, quite a contrast to the well known squares huge cinemas that often host world premieres and red carpeted events is a tiny little cinema offering something quite different.
For a very reasonably priced £ 8 you can catch most films just after they've finished being shown at mainstream cinemas for a fraction of the price. Not only that but the cinema has a much more intimate feel, the downstairs screen has love seats on the back couple of rows and red velvet curtains that open before each showing. The cinema also screens sing-a-longs to classics such as The Sound of Music and Grease and quote-a-longs to cult films like Mean Girls, as well as all night movie marathons and special fancy dress screenings, there is something for any film enthusiast.
