As always a really pretty, Wes Anderson vibe of a cinema. I would note that there’s not a lot of room for queueing for the ticket inspection so getting there early to grab a drink in the bar is a good idea or just stroll in right before the starting time to avoid the relative chaos. The members bar is also lovely and should Westminster council ever get their act together it will be a great place to hang out once you can bring a guest.

Top Central London Cinema, showing the latest films and occasional Rep. Has a Great Cafe with fresh food and cakes and a good range of drinks. Discounts for Picturehouse Members

Went to see the new Superman film - great location, friendly staff and virtually no wait to get in! There's also lots of leg room in the theatre and the sofa seats at the back are great :)
