Reviews
"Quite comfortable seats, very good sound and nice food options, even for vegans. Enjoyed the movie and my back did not hurt after two hours of sitting for the first time."
"Beautiful old cinema. Comfortable seats. Great atmosphere"
"Visited the Phoenix Cinema to watch Casablanca today. The cinema is a gorgeous looking, quaint little cinema that looks like it hadn't changed in years. There are a selection of drinks and snacks to meet all needs and they also offer free water if you desire it. The seats were incredibly comfy and plenty of leg room. I've lived in North London for 5 years years and I'm ashamed to say this is my first visit to the Phoenix but it won't be my last."
"The Phoenix Cinema is one of the oldest continuously running cinemas in the UK, having reinvented itself many times over to become the beautiful and beloved independent community cinema it is today. Screening new releases, world cinema, classics, independents and live arts, it also hosts festivals, Q & A's, a film studies programme and tours. The art deco building, especially the gorgeous auditorium and the upstairs cafe with a unique specially gifted stained glass window and balcony - which is lovely to sit and sip drinks on with a view over the High road - is a worth a visit in itself. It is run as a charity, supported entirely by the public. A gem that needs fostering and support to be preserved and kept as the gift that is for the London community, it offers memberships which are a drop in the bucket and which pay for themselves with the offer of free tickets. So lovely, part of my personal journey and history, just as for many others."
"Britain’s oldest purpose built cinema delivers every time. We watched Nomadland here yesterday and some films are just made for the big screen. So much crying in the dark. The top floor bar is sadly still closed. But the process felt very Covid safe and well organised. Staff are always lovely."
