The Short Version - This place makes me want to pay the annual membership fee and THEN also pay £20 to see a movie.
Yes, this place is that good. The finest cinema I've been to, no questions asked, no doubts had.
This is like stepping back into time. Yes, you may pay a little more but the extra is utterly worth it. The cinemas are clean with huge amounts of leg space and sofas if you're going with a significant other. Whilst the screening rooms are cold the cinema provides blankets (!) and a nice glass of water waiting for you. A typical film is between £15-20 (less if you're a member) going all the way down to £5 for one of the very interesting documentaries.
But wait! theres more! The cinema offers autistic friendly nights, nights for pensioners (with lower rates) and nights for kids, even nights exclusively for the disabled. You genuinely get the feeling that the company cares about not only being a great business but also a member of the community.
Surely there isn't more, why yes, yes there is. If you're a member here you have access to one of the finest roof terraces and bars in covent garden. Somewhere you can watch over others as you sip on a cocktail following a meal in the cinema restaurant or cafe (yup has those too). There is only one downside to this and that is that you need a cinema ticket to buy alcohol....handy that the documentary tickets are only a fiver then isn't it.....
This is a grown up cinema, this a venue, this is a place that is a pleasure to be a member of and a pleasure to take people to. Finally Leicester Square has a place I'd actually want to see a movie in. Welcome home, if you're a movie lover this place is all you'll ever need.
