    Crouch End Picturehouse

    4.5 miCrouch End, Hornsey Vale

    Open just 2 weeks ago, picture house is a very welcome addition to the n8 area…read more This 5 screen cinema has a fully stocked upstairs and downstairs bar, loads of high end snacks, cakes and even a restaurant menu. The seats in the actual cinema are soft, warm and comfy with plenty of leg room. There's a sofa aisle in the middle and back of the cinema which you can book at no extra cost. I image they're the first to go though. Bad points: There are no tables inside the cinema so they don't recommend bringing in actual dishes from the restaurant side of the cinema. Snacks and drinks are seriously expensive (but no more than any other cinema). Tickets cost £13.50 plus a £1.50 booking fee.

    This is review is mainly based on the fact that it is in Crouch End which is local to me. I say…read morethis because the area, though a cultural hub for many people in industry (peep show was filmed here, Shaun of Dead house not too far away, Gillian Anderson use to live here, amongst many others still in area) never really had a cinema to go to until the wonderfully small Arthouse came along. This picturehouse is one of many in the chain. I go to the newly opened Central one now quite a bit but this new one is now my closest. It has about 5-6 screens and I went to see Bridge of Spies on screen 4. The sound could have been a tad louder and I think there was not much surround sound. Saying that I mentioned this to manager and they mentioned it would in future. I went on officially it's 4th day of opening. I was told screen 5 is a favourite because it is intimate and has only about 26 seats. Cool. I asked to see screen 1, their prize biggest screen because i might see Star Wars there soon. The seats are like sofa seats. All of them. And there are double seats. The screen was higher than usual because they have a platform ready for future Q&A's. I will go see that screen but not sure it's best for something quite as epic as Star Wars. There's a nice cafe downstairs to people watch, and a main restaurant to see even better looking down upon Main Street. All in all. I liked my it's visit. Comfy, obviously clean and nice staff. Will be back for more to check other screens too. UPDATE - DEC '15: Checked out the brand new Crouch End PH. Kicking rainy Mondays onto the curb with it's cheap tickets! Steven Spielberg & Tom Hanks have made a great film with Bridge of Spies. Written by the Coen Brothers a real classic spy/war film. Love a bit of espionage! The cinema itself was lovely. Nicely laid out with cafe at bottom and many screens dotted around. I went into Screen 4 and it had good sound. Next time I will try for their main one.

    This is my local movie theatre and I have seen MANY MANY movies here! The cinema is brand new and…read moreas so is shinny and clean. The seats are quite comfy and they even have an Impact screen. With loads of show times, it's hard to not be satisfied with their offerings. Tickets are fairly cheap at 6GBP for a student and 8GBP for an adult, even during peak times. They have a special Tuesday offer for 4 GBP. It's really great how this cinema has helped improve Walthamstow. The area that it is located was previously quite sketchy, but quite a lot of money has been invested into that specific area. The cinema is just one of the new, and very welcomed, additions. Next to the cinema is a Pizza Express, Turtle Bay, and Yum Yum Thai food. Apart from the great selection already in Walthamstow, these bigger names has really enhanced the area! The location is super convenient as the cinema is only a few minute walk from Walthamstow Central station. Walthamstow also has loads of buses and often serves as an easy meeting point for my friends and I. This is probably one of the better cinemas in the area and I highly recommend it!

The last time, I said where I wanted to sit, was given totally inappropriate seat. The queue for pensioners free coffee is long, cups not very safe to carry around. Many of the seats mean that as there is no exit at the back, if you need to go out ( to the loo etc.) you have to walk in front of the screen and audience. And the seats: instead of an arm to rest on, there is a huge hole, presumably for huge , obesity inducing food/drink.

    Now I would highly recommend this cinema if you want an intimate and very comfortable cinema…read moreexperience without the annoying people talking all the way through and even better... A very representable price tag. I think we even attended on a crazy Monday and got half price tickets. They have a bar in the waiting area where you can buy drinks of all sorts and sweets or ice cream (no popcorn if I remember rightly) which is prob a good and less busy place to pop in for a cuppa anytime anyway. The cinema itself usually has most higher rated films showing on release and extremely generous seating throughout. Screen are on the smaller side but overall that doesn't detract from the experience unless you want an IMAX experience or something totally in your face. Barbican is definitely worth a trip for those wanting to avoid mainstream cinemas. Xyz

    My wife and I recently visited to see Life of Pi for a Sunday matinee. The tickets were £15…read moreapiece, no stadium seating, and I've seen more impressive movie screens in the tube. Oddly, when we bought our tickets, he showed us a tattered seating chart and asked us which seats we'd like, but had to look up our request in the computer to see if they're already taken, which led to the following conversation: "how about those?" "sorry I'm afraid those are taken. "how about those?" "sorry I'm afraid..." etc. The one twist was the classy food - scones, quiche, and an extensive wine list - which we weren't expecting. While I'm a fan beer / wine in movies, we actually just wanted some popcorn and sweets...

    I hate going to the cinema: its too expensive and I'd rather be in my house where I can talk over…read morethe film, drink tea and smoke cigarettes, but I'll make an exception for the Rio. You can drink tea here, eat homemade cakes and generally remember what the cinema experience used to be like before chain theatres took over the world. They show independent movies, take part in international film festivals, hold screenings specifically for children and parents and clearly try to reflect the diversity of cultures and religions in East London through the films that they programme. The Rio cinema is also a registered charity and offers an annual membership for £20. There is only one screen there, which adds to the snug feel, and the cinema has been refurbished in keeping with its original Art Deco design. It's perfect for a lone outing or a cosy date and I plan to go this week to see new German film, The Baader Meinhof Complex.

    Independent cinemas are scattered across London and this is the Jewel of the East - unfortunately…read moreexpensive popcorn and a predictable screenings make this spot a little disappointing. I saw Control here a year or so ago and liked the vibe the place has. f you go to the big cinemas now people just sit there like Zombies! Here you get applause, laughter and cheering to films - great for getting you involved in the movie. This place is definitely worth popping in if there is a movie showing you want to see. Drinks and popcorn will cost your granny but tickets are reasonable!

    Most of the reviews for odeon cinema in Surrey quays are out of date, sorry guys but they are…read more A few years from now so will mine, but while I am writing let me update you. The layout is very much the same but the facilities have benefitted from a much needed upgrade like the toilets have been done up, almost all the screens now have premiere seats located at the back. The establishment has decided to get rid of the waffles and replace it with milkshake a instead. Also, they have an array of chocolate bars to add to the shake mixs such as, toffee crisp, malteasers, rollo etc. This is a great addition, especially when you are considering the nice cold drinks to go with the summer films. Additionally, look at your full price receipt brought at the box office as they have been giving out 2 4 1tickets as a nice bonus!

Obviously it works really well for me because I just roll out of my apartment into a theater seat. I can imagine it would work rather well for people living around Canada Water/Rotherhithe because the SQLP complex is rather well served by buses and is a quick walk from Surrey Quays and Canada Water stations. Negative points because of the recent rise in tickets. I remember paying below £7 for several shows once upon a time. That seems like a distant memory now - or perhaps I'm just missing something. Also, for no fault of theirs they have to be penalized because of the lack of pre- and post- movie things to do.
