Electric Cinema

Why I like it

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. Part of the Soho House empire, but don't need to be a member to grab a drink, some popcorn, turn your phone off and enjoy a film.
