The last independent theatre in the West End, Prince Charles Cinema is universally loved for its show-anything attitude. Singalongs and quote-a-longs (Frozen, Elf and The Rocky Horror Picture Show are perennial faves), all-nighter movie marathons (including PJ parties), and anniversary and special-format screenings regularly grace its listings. Arriving in costumed character is encouraged.
