The Soho Curzon was the first new cinema to be built in Central London after the Second World War. It's built beneath a building designed by Harold Wingate, and opened in the late 1950’s. It changed to its current incarnation in the late 1990’s after extensive alterations turned the one screen cinema into a three-screen venue, and it became known as the Curzon Soho.

The cinema shows a mixture of mainstream, independent and foreign films in addition to short films, and is one of London’s most innovative film theatres. Aimed more at cinephiles than casual attendees, if you appreciate a discerning programme, including retrospectives and Q&A sessions with directors, then you should give the Soho Curzon a try.

The Soho Curzon is also a significant force in London's cinema culture. When there's something special on in London, the Curzon is invariably involved, and most indie and small budget releases get their feet wet at the Curzon.

Good café, bar, range of beers and quality snacks. the staff are [usually] keen and if you're planning to eat or go out after watching a film, you couldn't be more central. Once a month they also run 'Midnight Movies', including classics and arthouse. They're on Twitter - @midnight_movies - if you're interested in following their upcoming programme.

If you're from out of town or abroad, and love your film, you'll be watching with a like-minded audience here. Pricey though - there are cheaper options if your budget is tight (like the Prince Charles Cinema, a few streets away).
