ChaffroJune 21, 2015One of the best maintained indie cinemas anywhere. If you love the medium of film, really ought to see what's showing on any given night. Probably better than anything around the corner on the Square.
Aiden FernandezOctober 2, 2011Amazing venue - super air conditioned today (high 20's & beer sweats made this a haven in London!) & super comfortable seats. Also, when available, take advantage of the bacon rolls! 10/10 venue.
E K KMarch 4, 2016The screen may not the the largest, neither the box office glitziest, but the seats beat theatre seats for a mile around. When you feel like you've missed that fine film, you can catch it at The PCC
Jason H.August 1, 2023Cool theater showing classic films. Quirky - screen a little small and got it bit crowded but an interesting place to check out regardless
A lovely cinema, the downstairs cinema is excellent. Felt like the screen could be bigger though...
Emily-janeOctober 1, 2018Fab independent cinema in Leicester Square! They do movie marathons, sing-along versions of films and movies that you might have missed at the cinema! Full bar, reasonably priced tickets!- Matt TaylorSeptember 29, 2014Auditorium seats are extremely comfortable with high backs and retractable arm rests. Main screen sits on a slight incline so the better seats are actually near the front.
Jodie SanterApril 13, 2014An amazing cinema with lots of character and some great screenings. Keep an eye out for The Room - it's an incredible cinema experience!
Best Cinema EVER! The place is nice and filled with good people. It really feels like home. I wish I had something like that in Brazil!
MonikaMarch 9, 2016Best cinema ever! Wonderful selection of films on offer and Singalonga's are a must. Friendly staff too.
Ruth BanburyDecember 15, 2018Seats downstairs are a bit small for an all nighter , but it has a fab atmosphere
Laura McInerneyDecember 27, 2017If the film is popular you may need to queue up outside before opening, so bring an umbrella in case of rain!
Take a chance on one of the double bills, they're almost always really well chosen and you get double the films for less than the cost of a single for the multiplexes round the corner.
Sarah TaylorFebruary 16, 2015Gorgeous old cinema with a lovely feel to it. Creates a great atmosphere for their special screenings- BrokeinLondon.comDecember 22, 2013It is one of the cheapest cinema in whole London. By paying £10 annually or £50 for lifetime membership you become a member and watch movies for £4 and £6.
c0uPAugust 7, 2012Super cheerful staff, extremely comfortable seats, and an eclectic selection of films! If I lived here, I'd clearly buy the membership.
Lewy JonesJanuary 5, 2015Become a member. Support the cause. And go during the day midweek. Dead quiet and you can sit anywhere
Lee ChrimesJuly 12, 2013Great place - very varied and pleasing selection of filns, some amazing combo days and top quality projection too.
Sophie GarnierMarch 8, 2015Comfy seats, great friendly atmosphere every time. I've seen Grease, the spice girls movie and Frozen.
Marco LopesJuly 17, 2013A real "old school" cinema experience. If you love cinema, you'll want to go to the Prince Charles Cinema.
Holly PriestlandAugust 29, 2013Fantastic Indie cinema with loads of excellent theme nights. Way more fun then the standard Leicester Square cinemas!
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsJuly 27, 2015Forjust £ 8 you can catch most films just after they’ve finished being shown at mainstream cinemas. Read more- Dan Hopchet ✨April 20, 2013great for themed cinema nights, and so centrally located. The sing-a-longs are very well done
AnyTripMay 13, 2011One of the cheapest cinemas in London, with amazing rates if you're a member and cult film-a-thons. Love the kitsch red leather seats.
Lolly Recluse ColonyJanuary 13, 2014Can't decide whether you want sweet or salted popcorn? They give you a mixed bag! :D
Thrash HitsFebruary 20, 2011A Lifetime Membership costs £50 and then you can watch films for as little as £1.50. We've seen loads of band documentaries in here but we do miss the plush loveseats :( Read more
Asma AlbatliNovember 30, 2017Well, the cinema is so special, it is specialized in classic movies 🎥 ❤️
Robert BridgeMay 1, 2010Get one of those membership card thingies it fits in your wallet or girls leave it in your minature purse whenever you in West End pop in for a nostalgic movie and relax and save a couple of quid. Read more- Andrea LazzariniNovember 8, 2014My favorite independent cinema. They always organize themed events and movie marathons
Kevin McCulleyMarch 7, 2015Wonderful independent show bf classics from through the ages. Look out for the movie marathons!
Robert EklundAugust 8, 2013Great cinema, lovely staff and the monthly programme is always well planned.
Kaylie MMarch 10, 2013Seats are comfortable but high, too high for someone of 5ft2 to see over easily.
James ElliottJuly 26, 2010Another vote for membership. £50 for a lifetime is no bad deal for an already cheap cinema. Monday night double bills are the best thing since sliced pig :)
- Super comfy, Affordable and an awesome selection of movies! Get membership and get yourself to PCC!
Est DApril 11, 2010Pretty much my favourite place in London. Amazing film selection, great value & just a fantastic place to get away from it all.
For film listings see www.princecharlescinema.com. All other websites (including foursquare) consistently get the films and times wrong.
A year's membership is £10, which you can make up in savings from only three or four visits.
Tolga SarıgölMay 10, 2015İts great place for me last 15 years that place like a time machine when i get inside i am traviling to past 😄
