Great cinema with special events for curzon members like Q&A with the director. Good bar area both upstairs and down- gets busy so go early!

Nice central cinema. Cafe upstairs and bar downstairs give it a good ambience while waiting to watch a film or go just a drink with a friend. Film rates a little high as with central London venues.

Lovely cinema, small screening rooms but this needn't be a hindrance (THX certified, so it sounds fantastic). Coffee is harsh, strong and burnt roast -- but the cafe is open late, if you're desperate.

Lovely cinema, really comfortable and not as hectic as the big chains. Great choice of indie films.

Love it! Indie/arthouse cinema and very classy amidst the Soho buzz. Go downstairs for a quick and quiet drink prior the film starts. ❤️🎬❤️

Sound mix within the screening rooms is excellent for a room that size. Seats aren't that comfortable but that adds to the charm of an independent theatre somwhat.

Their selection of arthouse movies is the best in the city. They also host regular Q&A sessions with directors, film-makers and photographers. Read more

Really loved this cinema. In an era where blockbusters dominate cinemas this is the place to enjoy indie films and actually have an 'experience'.

Very cool cinema, nice vibe and design-it's like going down a cave. The coffee in the bar is pretty average and the waiters are a tad cheeky but I guess it's part of the charm.
Ola PeOctober 13, 2013
Cracking cinema with well-equipped cafe and bar from which drinks can be taken into the screening rooms. Highly recommended.

Possibly my favorite cinema in London. Student ID+matinee ticket is the best deal in town - only £5

Not only a good place for a movie, also a great place for a quiet drink in Soho in the downstairs bar.
Ben AdelieSeptember 28, 2017
Their selection of films are often better than the larger chains, although they have ticket prices to match.

Coffee, chocolate and cakes from Konditor & Cook are fantastic. Grab them and head to mezzanine for comfy sofas and free (if sporadic) wifi.

Sugar rush. Range and sweet things as many as the interesting people one can watch from this cafés street corner position.

Cafe bar downstairs has lots of fab sofas making it a great place to grab a cuppa or a drink and chill out

Bar downstairs is comfortable and quiet with free WiFi. And they don't mind you stealing the plug sockets.
Tim WoodsAugust 4, 2013
A fantastic cinema. Nice place to hang out before a film. But the choice of films is quite limited.

Good for a coffee and a catchup downstairs before watching an international movie. Great place.

A great play for a quiet drink in the centre of town, even on a friday night! The espresso martini is a winner.
Ben AdelieSeptember 28, 2017
Large bar with very little seating, the setting isn't intimate or one that'll encourage conversation - better than the average cinema bar, but that's about it.
ᴡ L'AstorinaFebruary 26, 2011
Is a film you'd like to see playing @ the Curzon? Then see it there! It's real cozy, elegant, and films look great in them screens!

The Curzon Cinema achieves a balance of quiet, comfy sofas, plug sockets and a mindboggling lemon meringue pie. Read more

Before the film, be sure to grab a coffee and cake and Konditor and Cook across from box office.
Andrew MarksOctober 23, 2014
£5 matinee tickets along with a beautiful interior. Lovely cinema.

One of the best arts cinemas in london

People watch from windows of the upstairs bar , always a few freaks and geeks on show
Laura CooneyJuly 30, 2012
Best brownies in London. Try the curly wurly and the Fudgepacker
Geoff WhiteMay 29, 2011
Best place for a quiet drink with friends in Soho - as soon as the films start the bar empties out so you'll always get a sofa!
Ma MiMarch 25, 2014
Wel it's a S O H O cinema everything else you crank machine yourself. I like it!
Gulnara MahmutovaJuly 21, 2015
Independent cinema, good for documentary lovers.

Give yourself time for a slice of curly whirly cake at the konditor and cook cafe in the cinema before or after the film.
Xavier BrinonSeptember 8, 2011
Particularly good to feel a bit of film snobbery. Also good for a quality coffee. 99 Shaftesbury Avenue, W1D 5
Fabio CatapanoJanuary 16, 2016
Bit expensive, but sometimes they have indie movies.

Good place for a quick dessert (aka cake/tarts)!
