Electric Cinema, Notting Hill, London

ok

Love it! Just wish we had something similar in Berlin (actually we do, but not the nice type of cinema, rather the dodgy ones that are not cheaper!).
Love the seats, the small coffee table and the fact that you have a bar in the back…It´s actually an experience and yes it is worth the money!

Film, wine and brownies. I love it!

amazing!
films there are interesting
the seats are so comfy! they have two alrge sofa type things at the back which you can lounge on – quite pricey but good for dates.
Bar is expensive but sooooo good. Food is amazing, not your average popcorn here, I went a bit crazy first time I discovered this place and bought brownies, toffee caramel ice cream, jellybeans and a sausage roll much to the chagrin of my date who was on a diet :)
highly recommend

What a civilised place, to be able to relax in those lovely big seats with nice bottle of wine, is simply perfect. Ok they don’t have the latest films but that shouldn’t stop you from giving this place a go. Book in to the restaurant next door for the full experience, a drink movie and meal all in one!

I love this place - as soon as you walk inside you feel a bit like you have been transported back in time when going to the cinema was really a full-on occasion! The big leather armchairs and sofas give it an altogether cosier feel than the cineplexs of today and they even have waiters and little tables so you can order food to where you sit. Great place to take a date if you want to impress him/her with more than a widescreen and a combo popcorn deal.

The best brownies I ve ever had in London!!!

What an amazing cinema. Cocktails, brownies and somewhere to put your feet up. Yes not the biggest screen but still an excellent venue for those who like to have a cheeky cocktail while watching a film.

I you are in Notting Hill I would definitely recommend you go! There is a nice restaurant below although I haven't been - but whenever I have been past it is always bustling and busy

possibly one of the most fabulous places to visit the cinema in London - you'll never be able to go to the Odeon again.

Yes, it's more expensive than a normal cinema, but what you pay is what you get: over stuffed sofas, footstools, a bar at the back with interesting snackettes, door men to shoo away the riff raff... (ok, maybe not the last one, but it's getting there...)

Tip for men: would make a fantastic choice for a first date. Book a table at the next door brasserie and you'll definitely be asked in for coffee

The best theater I've ever been to. The two-seaters are really worth it, the food is great and so are the cocktails.

Booking is a must, and so is seeing a movie there.

One of the best cinema's in London - a real treat and the perfect place to go on a date, especially if you book one of the two-seater sofabeds!!!

I have been loads of times with my boyfriend and with girlfriends and I would recommend it 100%.

Tip: I often go for dinner first then regret it as the food there is so delicious!

Oh. Em. Gee. I love this cinema, if I had the choice and was incredibly rich I'd go and see every film here. But I'll settle on it being a treat or for special occasions.

The seats are massive leather affairs and insanely comfortable...oh and whats that you say? Your very own foot stool and mini coffee table? Yes please. There's also a small bar at the back where you can get just about any drink, so expect much more than a cup of fizzy pop and some stale popcorn.

Accordingly the refreshments are equally extravagant with extravagant price tags. But if you're going to shell out the money required to see a film here you may as well go all out. This really is the epitome of a luxury cinema experience.

Luxurious cinema experience. Comfy seats, and lush surrounds.

Treat yourself.

This is, without question, my number one most favourite cinema in London (in the UK it's second only to the Little Theatre in Bath). Whenever there's a film I'm dying to see, I splash out and see it at the Electric. The seats are really comfy, armchairs all round and if you book early enough you can even nab one with a footstool, or a sofa for two. Even sitting quite near the front is fairly comfortable.

The snacks are delish, if a little pricey. And you can even indulge in a cheeky bottle of wine or a nice cup of tea.

What's great about going to the Electric is you feel like it's really an experience, it's a bit special - as opposed to going to your local Vue where going to the cinema is about as exciting as getting on a bus.

super cinema, great experience, very highly recommended

Loved it! Wine, cheese n crackers whilst in a big comfy chair…the only way to see a film.

One of the best in town. If a little expensive.

Unwind up @ ur comfort. The Lazy-boy kinda seating makes u feel like the king, with all space to utilize. Beer and movie - Perfect Combo !! Trust me !!

I LOVE the Electric. Yes it is expensive but you feel like you are getting an old fashioned atmospheric cinema experience rather than a big chain. The leather chairs with footstools are to die for and you can enjoy your movie with a glass (or bottle) of red wine in hand and one of their amazing chocolate brownies. One word of warning don’t just try to rock up you will need to book well in advance - bookings open for the week after on Friday mornings.

The Electric is a fabulous experience, with the gorgeous leather seats with stools and tables with wine cooler between each seat. Or splash out and get a whole sofa. The place is decorated very lavishly. With lots of gorgeous draping curtains. Also the bar at the back is more reasonable than I thought it would be and the staff were pretty friendly. There are also some bar snacks available for purchase, and there were some very yummy looking brownies stacked up. The cinema is not cheap, but is a really nice treat. The atmosphere was great – as if you had a cinema in your home, everyone chatting and laughing, very relaxed.
