Electric Cinema

Britain's oldest cinema, opened in 1910, and still the best one to sit in. The room alone is worth the price of the ticket — ornate plasterwork ceiling, brass chandeliers, a wall of deep red curtain hiding the screen until the lights go down.

But the actual move is the seating. Not regular cinema seats — leather sofa armchairs, each with a small lamp on the side table. Wide enough to sink into properly. Order a glass of champagne at the bar at the back before the film starts, carry it to your seat,

It's part of the Soho House group but you don't need to be a member to buy tickets — just book online like any other cinema. Don't wait for a special occasion. A Tuesday evening with a good film and a glass of something cold is the whole point.
