Prince Charles Cinema
The Prince Charles Cinema is a London favourite
The Prince Charles Cinema, located in Leicester Place, just north of Leicester Square in London's West End, is an independent cinema that shows a variety of classic, art house and cult films in addition to newer Hollywood releases. Between its two theatres It usually features about 10 different films each week.
Opened in 1962 the Prince Charles Cinema has two screens, one with 285 seats and the other with 104 seats. A popular ongoing feature for the past five years is a sing-along version of the Sound of Music where the words of the songs are projected with the film and the audience is encouraged to sing along. Do to its popularity, other Sing-a-Long titles have been added including Grease. The Prince Charles Cinema is considered to be one of, if not, the best cinema in London by local fans.
It is even rumoured that there is a ghost haunting the upper portion of the cinema. Staff of the cinema have claimed several sightings.
Don't worry about the ghost though. If you are too noisy or talk on your cell phone during a film, it's the Cinema Ninjas you'll have to watch out for! We'll let you figure that one out.
Despite its age, the Prince Charles Cinema is actually posh (in the modern sense)on the inside, with very comfortable seats and a great vibe.

Rated
out of 5 Best Christmas movies. I really enjoyed this time. I'll back!
Only one bad thing. An Indian using specs and I believe one of the "security" team,asked me to not take pictures while I didn't. The owner clearly defend the misbehavior of his staff.

super fun and reliable cinema, i always have a great time here. a go-to spot when i'm itching to see an older film and i'm big fan of their 35mm screenings. really cool events too like early screenings, q&a's, and marathons that i have a lot of fun at.

One of the few independent cinemas in London downtown. Great variety of movies, based on brilliant selections.
Decent prices as well, and the membership cards (apparently you can't just go to a cinema in London) options are multiple and cheap.
Highly recommend if you are a cinema lover

Best independent cinema in London period. Been there many times and will visit many more. Thanks to them you get a chance to watch small release movies or older stuff you never had a chance to see.
