Andrew: Absolutely beautiful, modern and well-priced cinema for Hackney. A few mins from London Fields. Members get 10% off food & drink, too.
yeah! Hackney: A new multi-screen cinema in Hackney, lovely comfy seats. Try the London Fields Brewery beer made just for the cinema.
Thrillist: THP's multiplex features luxuriantly reclining, armchair-esque seats, plus a cafe, art gallery, and 3 bars. This promises to go way better than your High School dates. Read more.

Huzaifa Khambalia: Awesome atmosphere. Have been to many Lord of the rings all-nighters. Ultimate place to watch a movie!
HISTORY UK: Run by the British Film Institute, it has easily the biggest cinema screen in the country – 20 metres high by 26 wide, with 12k Watts of digital surround sound.
Harkable: IMAX fact - If you were on the Moon and someone turned on an uncovered IMAX projector bulb, you could see it with the naked eye as the bulbs put out 15,000 watts.

fraubex: My favourite cinema ever! Leather armchairs with foot stools and little side tables/lamps. Check out their edible cinema themed viewings with paired food!
Laurel B: Amazing cinema experience! Check out the diner next door for a pint before the movie, which also has a great atmosphere. Watch for Benedict Cumberbatch as Humphrey Bogart in the 'How to Behave' short.
Mark Vord: Omg omg omg FOOT STOOLS!

Tim Savage: Great non for profit cinema. Comfortable with a bar and good selection of movie snacks. Good value too. Stylish showing latest movies.
Daria 😎: Money from tickets are for charity!) There are one screen, two bars (good selection of alcohol). Also they have blankets and tables with candles! Very romantic atmosphere :)

Glenn Thorsen: Studio 5 is the only way to watch movies...the bar upstairs is fantastic and their coffee out front is great and well priced too...support independent cinemas...convinced yet? 😉
Gabriel Goh: Be sure to put on your Wayfarers and tight jeans. Hipsters are abound. Especially on cheap Wednesdays.
Tom Bishop: Screen 1 is perhaps the biggest cinema you've ever seen- for seats, not so much the screen. If its busy, go down the front- otherwise you'll be stuck so far back that your living room TV looks bigger.

Justin Gaffney: I love this cinema. Staff are friendly, two screens, both quite small but with comfy seats and great surround sound, it's far better than a DVD at home on the sofa! Great kitchen for snacks at seat
James Whatley: Literally the best cinema experience I've had this year. Warm staff, beautiful surroundings - there's just a gorgeous un-forced charm about the whole thing. RECOMMENDED.
Mikko Arevuo: Hampstead and Maida Vale cinemas are the best of the lot. The Belsize Park seats are not that comfortable.
Jack: Amazing film experience for those with a real passion for the artform. Rarely go anywhere else for film screenings these days. Comfy seating, quieter crowds, good food. All chains are 10/10.
Robbie Dale: Go for the sofa in row G, seats 7 & 8 - directly opposite the aisle, so an unimpeded view of the screen :)
Londonist: Pretty cool chain. The hampstead branch is a bit cosier, but this is a more historic building.

Andrés Santiago: Best cinema in London. The Renoir screen in particular. Also great bar and terrace.
Nick Dastoor: If you need legroom, stick to films at the Renoir screen, unless you don't mind sitting in the front row at the smaller screens. Also, stick to the central area at the Renoir for a good viewing angle.
Nathan Fisher: Some of the theatres seating can be uncomfortable for long films.
Richard Dickins: They have some really good presentations here, very interesting. Lots of steps to climb to get up there, but worth it.
Jon Choo: A proper 70mm IMAX theatre, this is a cheaper, less wellknown alternative to the BFI IMAX at Southbank and all the fake Odeon IMAX cinemas. Get here early to get good seats.
Kritt Normsaskul: Amazing museum. And free! Keep your eure peeled - the museum hosts new a exhibition every quarterly so there always something new too see alewch year ☺
