Cinema in London

“Another pub we used to visit a lot but hadn't been to for a long time. We stopped in for a quick drink between cinema trips. We ended up chatting with several members of staff and it was lovely and friendly each time. We only had a drink but the food looked REALLY good. It always was stunning and it seems the menu is now much more manageable than it was pre pandemic when we last went. The slightly busy interior is warm and comfortable. The staff elevate the experience and I have no doubt the food will hit the mark. Looking forward to testing that out soon.”

“Fabulous production of 'I want my hat back'. My 3 year old was engaged and entertained the entire 45 min (and us). The actors did a great job and the venue itself is well thought out with play areas etc. We will be back.”

“Went to see My Neighbour Totoro and loved it! The theatre seating is excellent, staff were great and amenities easily accessible with plenty on offer. The show is magical, incredible staging and wonderfully entertaining performances. Worth it for both those who know the movie and those who don’t. Step into the world of Tototo - you won’t be disappointed!”

“Really lovely little theatre, seating is quite tight but good views of the stage. We saw 'The Play That Goes Wrong' and it was very funny. £4 for a water was a bit steep though!”

“A wonderful theatre with amazing actors. Hard to believe some are amateurs. Last night’s Gaslight’ was a case in point - all the cast were fantastic.Also, the clarity of their diction was better than some shows in the West End - so good be able to hear every word. Thank you.”

“This show will always have my heart. I’ve visited it so often you’d think I was part of the crew, yet somehow every performance reveals something new—whether it’s a line of dialogue or a small moment on stage. It never stops moving me.”

“Petite theatre tucked into the iconic Globe. Cozy and can get quite warm in the upper circles. I opt for the standing tickets and it's not unbearable with a bar to lean on and a decent amount of space”

“Absolutely stunning theater. Watched The Lion King musical and it was one of the best days of my life. As a kid that grew up watching the lion king, it was impossible not to cry watching that beautiful play ❤️ thanks to all the actors and crew that made this possible.”

“Absolutely love coming to this cinema! The vibes are excellent, and the staff is always so lovely. The armchair and sofa seating, and the excellent food and cocktails really makes the experience! Definitely recommend a visit!”

“Absolutely fantastic venue, I loved the look and feel of the old theatre, amd seeing A Christmas Carole here was amazing.”

“Wonderful and enterprising amateur theatre which manages to reach the highest standards in the backstreets of Friern Barnet. Discover, savour and enjoy!”

“One of the most striking elements of Hamilton is its flawless vocal performances. What adds a delightful twist to this historical drama is the humor brought by memorable characters like King George III. His comedic timing and over-the-top antics are a perfect counterbalance to the intense drama of the main storyline. Every time he steps onto the stage, his playful songs and hilariously self-absorbed commentary light up the room, drawing laughter from the audience without fail. Overall this is a story of ambition, legacy, and the human spirit, told with wit, heart, and unrelenting energy. Good show!”

“Theatre and facilities were clean, staff were friendly and respectful. Sound and the performance was amazing. I will definitely check out other shows at this theatre!”

“An important part of London’s cultural life. Always interesting productions with great casts and creative teams. Would book to see anything there as I know it will be better than anywhere else. Seats uncomfortable but a nice bar with good food. Love it”

“Very inspiring atmosphere, impressive connection speed, and plenty of seating. The entrance is free (bag search). Gets a bit busy about 30 min before the performance (currently Inter Alia with Rosamund Pike). The building is a notable example of post-WWII Brutality architecture. While its radical minimalism and anti-aesthetics is not for everyone, it was fitting well the post-WWII resources deprivation and priorities re-evaluation (i.e. the shift from pompous public projects to NHS and other projects that prioritize human lives). Creative night lighting, both inside and outside, adds an extra visual appeal while preserving the core concepts of the style.”

“I went to see the Black Sabbath Ballet and was sat in the top tier, which offered excellent views of the stage. Really good sound and very comfortable seats. Ample bars and toilets, lots of space to hang around, good location and nice staff.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ MJ The Musical – Prince Edward Theatre Set in the stunning 1930s Prince Edward Theatre, MJ The Musical absolutely blew me away! The story, the music, the set, the costumes, and the performances were all incredible. From the young MJ to the teenager and then the adult, the three actors portraying Michael were phenomenal — their voices were flawless, and their acting was spot-on. The story felt respectful, honest, and deeply moving. Every single cast member brought incredible energy and talent to the stage. A truly outstanding show — highly recommended! (We sat in Row E seats 18 to 21)”

“Fabulous experience watching the matinée performance of Les Mis. We were sat in the Boublil loge, with moveable seats and a plush rail you could lean on. Some parts were missed but it was not a detriment to the truly outstanding performance. Pre-show we visited the Queen’s Bar and received excellent service from Alfie, thank you!”

“Went to Oliver! Amazing. Space feels intimate and I loved this latest production. Acoustics were amazing at the stalls. Definitely a memorable theatre watching experience.”

“Went to the Adelphi Theatre for Back to the Future the Musical on Saturday 13th September 2025, starring Brian Conley as Doc Emmett Brown. Was in the Dress Circle at the time. Not much leg room as I recall. The view was decent. You are not allowed to take photos or videos during the performance but is ok in the time before, at the interval and after the show. I went to the bar when thirsty at the interval and got a bottle of Coca Cola for around £4.60. At the end they had crates to dispose of rubbish like the empty bottles. Show started around 7:35pm. Interval after 9pm. Show ended sometime after 10pm that evening. If you arrive early, there is time to walk to the Thames via the Victoria Embankment. Even then, once seated, you have to wait half an hour or so for the show to start. I left my backpack at the hotel, only had my camera and camera bag on me.”

“I’ve seen 2 shows here and they were both incredible! It’s such an experience. There’s lovely food before hand so arrive early! We had a fair bit of rain the first time (see the video) but was able to get through the performance with a few brief pauses. The show was still INCREDIBLE and we were able to get through it. The second time we had lovely weather. We will be back again this year and I can’t wait.”

“Loved the whole experience of going to see Will and Ralf. The theatre itself was easy to get to for me and my friend travelling from hertfordshire, by train and a bus. On arrival there were no ridiculous queues as there were so many doors open all manned by staff ready to check bags and tickets. The staff were attentive throughout the event even when there were audience members not following the no recording rules, they asked them politely to stop. There was a beautiful display for the current show of the devil wears Praia, of stunning dresses which I thought added to the atmosphere as well as having something nice to look at when waiting in a bar queue. Bar queues were quite long but staff worked really hard to serve everyone efficiently. The show itself was brilliant, Will and ralf really engaged with the audience and there were plenty of laughs. Would 100% go again to see Will and ralf and also attend the Dominion theatre.”

“We celebrated our little one’s 5th birthday with a trip to see Matilda the Musical, and it couldn’t have been more magical. We went as a big family – and it was the perfect way to make the day extra special. The show itself was absolutely brilliant – funny, clever, and full of energy. The children in the cast were incredible, and the whole performance kept even the youngest in our group completely captivated from start to finish. Our birthday girl loved it, and it was so lovely seeing her eyes light up during the songs and big moments on stage. The theatre staff were kind and helpful, making it easy for us to enjoy the day with three generations together. It was a truly unforgettable birthday treat, and we’d highly recommend Matilda to anyone looking for a magical theatre experience that the whole family will love.”

“I went to watch Hercules with my sister and nephew aged 12. Firstly, the theatre itself is stunning, architecture and arrtwork, just beautiful. The staff were really lovely and helpful. The show is a must see production. Performances, singing, dancing all fab. Highly recommend Hercules and the Theatre Royal.”

“Staff were really friendly and helpful. Had a mix-up with my tickets, but the staff sorted it swiftly. The Access assistant was very helpful, and made sure that I made it to my seat safely, as well as parking my mobility scooter. She also helped me with my interval drinks. The show, Starlight Express, was awesome! Highly recommend”

“A Perfect Sunday Surprise! We dropped into Dawat on a Sunday night without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming — attentive without being intrusive. The food was absolutely excellent — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. To top it all off, there was a fantastic live band playing, which gave the evening an extra spark. Between the great food, friendly service, and the bonus live music, it turned into one of those spontaneous nights you don’t forget. A great end to our Diwali celebrations! Highly recommend!”

“This was an absolute treat to see different beautiful ballet styles danced by pupils of the Royal ballet school. They were very well rehearsed and were a joy to watch. The venue on a lovely summer night was perfect. Well done to everyone involved for a night to remember.”

“Saw Inter Alia, which I cannot recommend more. Absolutely fantastic. The Theatre was well organised, and had a good drinks and snacks selection at the Bar.”

“Lovely theatre. We got restricted seats/Circle-High seats closest to the stage(P62/63). There was no problem at all, indeed, was perfect that we could enjoy watch the backstage as well. The Great Wave was fantastic”

“What a wonderful place for babies! Our 11-month-old baby enjoyed Scrunch so much!”
