if you are into the alternative, arty kind of cinema or theatre, then the tricylce theatre is a lovely little hotspot. its kind of grubby but has a little charm about it. tickets for most productions are cheap. i’ve seen some great less well know films here and had a really nice time.

A slightly quirky theatre with a broad range of productions. We went last night to see a new piece of writing produced by the RSC titled 'I'll be the Devil'.

It was pretty good, although the stage combat was laughably awful.

Play aside, it's a pretty cool place and certainly an interesting venue with a lot of character. There's a cafe bar and, even better for the locals, an art house cinema.

Reasonable prices, obviously cheaper than the West End, but a pretty good standard of quality and definitely more interesting than much of the West End theatre scene.

The Tricycle theatre and cinema has definitely put Kilburn on the map as a cultural hotspot, particularly as a land mark of quality independent theatre production and films. Ticket prices are reasonably inexpensive, hence the not too comfortable seating. Nether the less, it's a great venue to check out in terms of alternative arts, with an accompanying cheapish cafe bar to accompany the visual entertainment, you could always just pop in for a glass of wine or a coffee separate to screenings.

Tricycle Theatre Cinema and Gallery is one of London's best loved production houses which has been involved in presenting innovative theatre,cinema and visual arts programmes.

The cinema screens on main film... which tends to be a Curzon-style selection...eg. new releases of foreign, art house and more obscure sorts, classics, older releases... although they will show big new releases too...

There are a few double seaters in the cinema if you like to rub bum-cheeks with your cinema companion

They offer a "pay what you can" day.... although I believe the minimum is £1.50, and is only on offer students, under 16's, Jobseekers, the over-50...that sort of thing.


Pay What You Can Theatre every Tuesday at 8pm and Saturday at 4pm
Pay What You Can Cinema Tuesday early evening screening - min charge £1.50 (approx. 6.40pm)

The cafe/bar offers some cheap wine deals.
