The Greenwich Picturehouse opened in September 2005 as a luxury four screen cinema with a panoramic first-floor bar and a basement Screening Room that offers a mix of films, music and comedy events.

Also in the cinema is the Organic Tapas Company, serving a range of small dishes of fresh organic food from Spain, France, Italy and far beyond.

Part of the Picturehouse Group, which differs from most commercial chains by promotional activities that aim to encourage an interest in film, including membership schemes, printed programmes with comparatively in-depth background information about films, film festivals and themed series of showings. The cinemas are generally small and centrally located compared to others recently opened in the UK, which are often large multiplex cinemas built on the edges of towns.

Though recently established, a firm favourite with cinema-goers. It also has the advantage of being located in Greenwich which probably has more entries on this website than any other location. Great historical sites, parkland, shops, markets, transport, views, food and pubs. Plus, a decent cinema.
