As well as being one of the historic homes of the BBC and Triumph Films, the Studios became famous throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s for bringing some of the most exciting theatre and performance work to the UK from overseas.

The cinema here uniquely offers a repertory double bills programme, focusing on the very best of international and contemporary cinema, providing access to films that are often rarely screened. Double bills were usually the norm in British cinemas right through to the 1980s ('Gregory's Girl' and 'Chariots of Fire' springs to mind as one of the last offerings).

Aside from its double bill programmes, the Riverside plays regular host to the London Taiwanese, Italian and Polish Film Festivals amongst others.

 

In addition it has an excellent café and bar, which is a great place to people-watch and wind down. Not as crowded as it should be and good value for money.

Riverside Studios, Crisp Road, Hammersmith, London W6 9RL.
