    Cool old style cinema and ... Cheap ! They organise also regularly some themed broadcast or other events (concert, ...). You have also a little bar in the cinema and the streets were it's located has some cool bars and places to hang-out waiting for your film ! The films they broadcast are also very good choice :)

    Waiting area for Screen 1 and 2

    Still nice but after their new Picturehouse Central, this one feels a little tired and not as comfy. No reclining seats, less leg room, but a good local for south of the river.

    I personally prefer the Ritzy for its theatre heritage and excellent homemade cakes, but Clapham is a happy second choice.

    The screen and sound here are great. Everything else feels so dated and underserved compared to…read morelike a hundred + cinephilie places in the US. On the outside it looks like a temple to movies as you're getting close to it; it's a huge, imposing oval of a building in the middle of the street. But the temple illusion is shattered quickly as to get to the place you have navigate into one of several tunnels with some of the local homeless community and their respective full use of the place as a toilet. This is especially disconcerning if you go to a late showing. Once you get inside, your feeling will shift from slightly tense to slightly underwhelmed. The interior here is kind of like an AMC megaplex from the early 1990's. There's some light celebration of movies going on but it really doesn't appear like some flagship for the BFI, especially given the gravitas they employ on their movie collection video they play before many movies here. Food is also really underwhelming compared to nearly all higher end theaters in the States with full service; I guarantee if you were to visit the first Alamo in Austin that was converted out of a dumpy old 1970's style four theater complex you'd find that experience an order of magnitude better than what you'll get here (and that's before we get into just the attention paid to the love of cinema bv a company like that compared to the vanilla offerings here!) LIke I wrote before, once the movie starts it's very good. If you have a BFI membership like I do and can access the VIP seating, they definitely have more legroom than anywhere else I've been in the country. But overall experience is just deeply underwhelming and they should really overhaul this whole place to truly immerse people in the love of film - even the Everyman chain in London does a way better job of this than this location does.

    BOOOOOOOOM! That is…read moremy experience here in a word. Yep just one word...but this is me and I have way more to say than just one word so... This place is amazing and if you love cinema and are going to see a spectacular then I would recommend popping your bottom in one of their super comfy seats. Warning: fear of heights, just don't bother! I saw Batman here and as a HUGE comic book fiend it was superb seeing the portrait stil shots displayed as they were intended. God bless the IMAX! Oh and its nice and convenient right by waterloo .
