For those looking for a cultural fix, here’s a listing of cinemas & theatres in Kensington and Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Cinemas in Kensington & Chelsea<\/h2>\n

There are a number of cinemas all over the borough including a handful of those belonging to the big chain names. Our tip is to head to the smaller, independent cinemas for a more personal – and let’s face, comfier! – experience.<\/p>\n

Cin\u00e9 lumi\u00e8re<\/strong>
\n17 Queensberry Place, SW7 2DT
\nUnderground: South Kensington
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.institut-francais.org.uk<\/a>
\nLocated in the Institut Francais, the Cin\u00e9 lumi\u00e8re largely shows a variety of new and recent French and other foreign language films, whilst Sunday afternoons are reserved for “French classics”. The large auditorium provides a comfortable film viewing experience, and tickets are very reasonably priced in comparison to some of the large chains.<\/p>\n

Cineworld Chelsea<\/strong>
\n279 Kings Road, SW3 5EW
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.cineworld.co.uk<\/a>
\nShows all the latest blockbuster releases. Unfortunately, this cinema is a little tricky to get to by Underground, though can easily be reached by bus.<\/p>\n

Cineworld Fulham Road<\/strong>
\n142 Fulham Road, SW10 9QR
\nUnderground: South Kensington
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.cineworld.co.uk<\/a>
\nAll big films on show here!<\/p>\n

Coronet Cinema<\/strong>
\n103 Notting Hill Gate, W11 3LB
\nUnderground: Notting Hill Gate
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.coronet.org<\/a>
\nHoused in a beautiful grand old building, this cinema makes a change from the usual multiplexes. Monday nights are student nights, whilst on Tuesdays tickets only cost \u00a33.50 for everyone!<\/p>\n

Curzon Chelsea<\/strong>
\n206 King’s Road, SW3 5XP
\nUnderground: Sloane Square
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.curzoncinemas.com\/#\/venues\/chelsea<\/a>
\nHighly recommended, this wonderful cinema shows a mixture of the latest mainsteam releases as well as arthouse stuff too. If you’re in the area and looking for your film fix, try this cinema rather than some of the chain cinemas above – you’ll enjoy it much more!<\/p>\n

Electric Cinema<\/strong>
\n191 Portobello Road, W11 2ED
\nUnderground: Notting Hill Gate
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.electriccinema.co.uk<\/a>
\nWonderfully refurbished to its former glory, this delightful cinema shows a mixture of current box-office hits and older movies. For something special, try booking one of the two seater sofas, kicking back with a bottle of wine from the concession stand. A “Kids’ Club” (i.e. showing children’s films) is held every Saturday morning, whilst Monday afternoons have a parent and baby screening.<\/p>\n

The Gate Cinema<\/strong>
\n87 Notting Hill Gate, W11 3JZ
\nUnderground: Notting Hill Gate
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.picturehouses.co.uk\/site\/cinemas\/gate\/local.htm<\/a>
\nBeautiful cinema with incredibly comfy seats, this is what film-going should be like everywhere! Shows a mixture of quirky, independent films, foreign ones and older classics.<\/p>\n

Odeon Kensington<\/strong>
\nKensington High Street, W8 6NA
\nUnderground: High Street Kensington
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.odeon.co.uk
\n<\/a>Six-screen cinema opposite Holland park. Standard chain cinema, albeit one that’s housed in a beautiful old building.<\/p>\n

Theatres in Kensington & Chelsea<\/h2>\n

Kensington & Chelsea isn’t perhaps particularly well known for its theatres, and most visitors to London probably head out to the central London to take in a show. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t plenty right on your doorstep! Better still, many of these small venues provide a more intimate and enjoyable evening than places that are considered more mainstream.<\/p>\n

\n

Finborough Theatre<\/strong>
\n118 Finborough Road, SW10 9ED
\nUnderground: West Brompton\/Earls Court Road
\nWebsite: <\/em>www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk<\/a>
\nAward winning theatre, it celebrated its 30th year in 2010.<\/p>\n

Gate Theatre<\/strong>
\n11 Pembridge Road, W11 3HQ
\nUnderground: Notting Hill Gate
\nWebsite: <\/em>www.gatetheatre.co.uk<\/a>
\nDespite a capacity of only 70, this ambitious theatre is well-known as something of a springboard for up-and-coming talent.<\/p>\n

Holland Park Theatre<\/strong>
\nHolland Park, W8 6LU
\nUnderground: High Street Kensington\/Holland Park
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.operahollandpark.com<\/a>
\nWonderful open-air theatre with fantastic opera performances every summer. (The season runs from the beginning of June to mid-August each year.)<\/p>\n

MacOwan Theatre<\/strong>
\nLogan Place, W8 6QN
\nUnderground: Earls Court Road
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.lamda.org.uk\/development\/events\/macowan.htm<\/a>
\nA LAMDA (The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) theatre, occasional productions are put on throughout the year. Check the website for upcoming events.<\/p>\n

Royal Court Theatre<\/strong>
\nSloane Square, SW1W 8AS
\nUnderground: Sloane Square
\nWebsite:<\/em> www.royalcourttheatre.com<\/a>
\nOne of London’s best theatres, the Royal Court Theatre’s productions are amongst the most innovative in the capital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
