From the best new releases to special screenings and events, here’s what not to miss at London’s cinemas
London’s big on cinema; the city is home to countless film festivals and movie institutions, as well as a healthy vein of indie cinemas. Of course, that means there’s a lot to watch and it can be tough to keep up with all the must-see screenings going down – even for the most hardcore cinema buffs. So, we’ve scoured the listings of our favourite movie spots in town to bring you a curated list of the unmissable, from cult classics dug out of the archive to new releases you might not have heard of. (P.S. our list is updated weekly, so come again to catch something new).
