Super luxe cinema with large comfy leather seats, footstools, a cashmere blankets. Amazing snacks and drinks. Book in advance, as most showings sell out.

If you want a nice romantic date, this is the place. And book the sofa seats. Good wine. Lay back and watch some great cinema in an eclectic and electric setting.

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.

Best cinema in London, it is the oldest venue in the city. Comfy armchairs, but try and book a bed for two, it will make you want come back again and again.

Sofa for two is amazing,but also regular seats are great,bed is just too close to the screen for me,dont forget to take all the snacks before the movie starts 😄 they close the bar,once it starts.

Perhaps the best cinema I've ever been to. Amazing seats. Good food. Feel free to arrive a bit late to avoid all the commercials before the show.

Favourite cinema in London. Comfy armchairs with side table, lamp and footstool; but if it's the two of you, go for one of the beds at the front. Be sure to eat at the diner beforehand.

One of the most beautiful cinemas I've ever visited. You must go. If you're already here, well done! You've made an excellent choice.

Great mugs of tea, wines, cupcakes, old fashioned sweets, popcorn, cheese and fruit selections, sausage rolls, hot dogs, etc. Fantastic... Book yourself a front sofa / bed and lounge in luxury.

Amazing laid back seats! A little too comfy for some. Had some spicy nuts - a decent portion worth a beer. Great cinema and worth the price for a treat.

My favourite cinema ever! Leather armchairs with foot stools and little side tables/lamps. Check out their edible cinema themed viewings with paired food!

The interior of the Electric references the cinema's long history with large leather sofas, footstools as well as tables for food and drink. Perfect place for a romantic night out.

It's all about Sundays at the Electric Cinema. Check out Portobello Road Market mid-morning, then take in the double bill, kick back in the vast leather chairs and enjoy.

Best movie theatre in the whole world. REALLY. The burger is amazing and the bar in the back is the tops. Book online early.
Magdalena MrázkováJune 4, 2015
Truly unique experience - stuck midway between cinema and theatre - with comfy chairs that will lull you to sleep if the movie's not good enough ;)
Daniela BarreraMay 27, 2014
Fabulous place! Pick between the front beds, the seats or the sofas at the back. All with a nice blanket and enjoy the bar!
MauiNovember 25, 2016
Great for a special night out. Everyone has their own fauteuil and a footstool + inside there's a blanket! <3
Mickaël AugelloMarch 30, 2015
The most romantic cinema i've ever been. Enjoy a platter of delicious food/drinks on the front sofas while watching a great movie! What else?!
Nick SorrosOctober 31, 2015
Book the back couch if you go with your partner. Cheaper from odeon lounge, far better atmosphere and the only reason to give money for a movie
Elke De PourcqJune 20, 2015
Loved the seats although the sound wasn't quite allright. If you come with your boyfriend and don't have a bed it's kinda hard enjoying the movie together.

Great place to experience cinematic fun in a unique way! Bit of a French feel to it!

Best cinema in London. If booking as a couple, the sofas at the back are a must
Georg FJune 28, 2013
Book seats from the left to middle, max 3/4-right to avoid distraction from ppl heading to/from bathrooms in the right hand seats.
Lizzie BarkerApril 24, 2014
Best cinema I've been to in London. Tables, footstools, blankets and bar.

Centre of hipster gravity in a somewhat stuffy part of town
