Picturehouse Central

The West End


A beautifully designed, multi-screen cinema in the buzzing heart of Piccadilly Circus, Picturehouse Central is pure style from the moment you walk in and are met with the grand, red-tiled staircase illuminated by a cascade of lights. There's a downstairs cafe for anyone with a ticket, and upstairs there’s a members' bar and roof terrace, with great views of the streets below.
