The Open Guide to London: the free London guide

An independant(?) cinema just north of Leicester Sqaure that shows older , smaller and foreign films rather than the mainstream. Tickets are cheap and even cheaper if you buy a membership. Also the home of the Sing-a-longa Sound of Music and Rocky Horror Show.

They have a single screen which is downstairs. Tickets and food are bought upstairs and there is a bar downstairs along with a small waiting/seating (on stools) area and toilets. The seats are rather plush and tilt back a bit when you sit on them, but in general they are quite comfy. There are also some 2 person mini-sofa like seats at the back...

Ticket are �3 for weekday daytime showings and �4 for evenings and weekends. You can buy membership of the cinema for �7.50 a year which drops those to �1.50 and �3. The membership card also acts as a discount card for a variety of other shops (including Forbidden Planet), gets you added to their email newsletter and 10% off at the bar.

The website had full listings and you can also pick up listings sheets for the current and next week from outside the cinema.
