Gate Picturehouse

Notting Hill & West London


Opened in 1911, the single-screen Gate has one of London’s most charming art-deco cinema interiors, with director Q&As and a wealth of cinema clubs, including the E4 Slackers Club (students) and Silver Screen (over-60s). The cheapest tickets are on Mondays. Sink a drink in the foyer bar before or after your film (a mix of art-house and mainstream).
