The Prince Charles Cinema (PCC) is one of this reviewer's favourite cinemas in London (and Tarantino's apparently). Just off Leicester Square in a back-street leading to Chinatown. They've been offering cut price cinema tickets in the capital since 1991.

The Prince Charles offers a rotating program of cult, arthouse, and classic films alongside the recent Hollywood releases. It also hosts the sing-a-long version of The Sound of Music, which has been shown on a regular basis for over five years. The cinema has achieved a cult status amongst fans, sticking out as the only independent cinema in the West End. It recently added a second screen, so there is an 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' programme of events.

Membership costs £12 and gives reduced entry to all showings (generally £2-3). The downstairs programmes are cheaper and include old favourites ("Withnail and I" is on at the time of writing and a John Hughes double-bill - "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and "Ferris Beuller's Day Off", which would be a typical programme). It's invaluable if you missed the opportunity to see an original release at the cinema. With membership, matinee entry is £1.50 downstairs and £4 without membership. Double bill entry is higher.

Tucked away, but worth seeking out - I heartily recommend booking to avoid disappointment, as it's a popular destination.
