Its film selection is fantastic too- mixing the new/popular film one week, to a more artistic/less well known choice the next (always worth seeing I might add!)! A fantastic place to take the parents, grandparents,...” more...

I was there for a Polish film which they began screening without subtitles, have experienced more than my fair share of sound problems and then on Sunday they left the main lights on for the...” more...

It's freezing cold inside, even at the coffee shop/bar and for that reason, I dropped a star!” more...

Leaftop wrote on 04-05-2010 “Big screen, old style cinema, pay extra £2 and book seats with so much leg room you could slide right out of them untill horizontal and still not be annoyingly banging the backs of those in front - I suppose a bit like Virgin Airways club class, except for just £2 - must be a bargain! And if...” more...

eamon wrote on 26-10-2009 “It's worth going for the bizarrely concave seating alone. If punters ever get bored of coming to see remarkably low-priced, recently distributed (but not really showing anywhere else) flicks, the owners could quite easily rip out the seats and transform this place into an indoor skate park. I'm...” more...

eamon wrote on 16-04-2009 “Easy. What's not to like? Great art house movies, stuff to peruse and buy, right in the heart of London and with particularly enjoyable bars serving drinks and cofees. If you're bored on Sundays, there are regular themed double bills that will consume your weekend like a serious drug habit. If...” more...

talia wrote on 09-02-2010 “My favourite experience of the Rio was when I went to see my favourite film De-Lovely. It happened to be showing at an OAP screening on a Wednesday afternoon and was jampacked. Once the lights go down it's very hard to see and I had to scramble over old people to find a seat in the middle of the...” more...

eamon wrote on 06-01-2009 “Sirs, I must take umbrage at the idea that the seating here is comfortable. Though I am happy to send 5 stars their way, it is not for the comfort I can tell you. Ragged and saggy may be how I like my women, but not my cinema seating. As I stagger home I usually feel like my backside has been...” more...

eamon wrote on 01-03-2010 “Maybe I went to a completely different place, but I was about as comfortable as the Michelin Man on a bed of recently sharpened nails; maybe it was my particular screen. That they have a weekly programme of excellent arthouse cinema is not in doubt, nor is the fact that the bar/cafe area is most...” more...
