Electric Cinema White City

Notting Hill & West London


Located in the former home of the BBC, this very dishy deco-style cinema offers mohair armchairs, chair-side tables with lamps, and footstools. Descend the spiral stairs from the elegant Allis bar/restaurant to the swish lobby where caramel, chocolate and cream hues converge and a further bar and three studios await. Comfy armchairs in each studio are £20.

Children are half-price and tickets are cheapest on Mondays.
