1 / 3Curzon Aldgate
📍 London, Greater London
Contemporary cinema in Aldgate featuring clean screens with excellent sound and picture quality, a cafe bar with cinematography books, pool tables, and a welcoming atmosphere. Membership options available for regular visitors.
Wow! This was one of my favourite cinema experiences in a long time. A very modern cinema with very friendly staff, a beautiful cafe area with books about cinematography and a good atmosphere. The cinema was amazing with small tables where you could have a drink, like in the old days but with a modern touch, chairs which adapted when you lean back and a great sound system. Just made the whole experience really enjoyable. I can highly recommend it and will definitely be back when I‘m in London.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with older children and teens aged 10-plus who can appreciate a more intimate, design-led cinema experience. The cafe bar and pool tables before screenings make the full visit more than a film alone. The quality of the screens and staff service justifies the premium ticket price for a special occasion rather than a routine outing.

“Fantastic, from start to finish. Love walking into this place. Great chilled decor, attentive staff, good food selection - just wish there can be an alternative to all the bread. Love the veggie antipasto and dip selection, but not eating wheat made it interesting! Slices of carrots, celery.... would have been great. Cinema seats are really comfortable. As ever with the Curzon group, wonderful selection of films. Top marks.”

“Usually don’t feel as welcomed in cinemas as I have been today. Thanks Danai (hope Ive spelled right) for helping us getting drinks and games. We played pool before getting a new membership for the venue. Glad to find this place so close to home”
