Great staff and location showing a variety of films you need to see at a cinema rather than just having the latest showings. Went to a Sing A Long event which was a fun way to re- experience Grease. Took a little to much time warming up the crown but one the film started was great.
Really good location with an amazing program of films. Staff very friendly and is lovely inside. The auditorium had character which is something that is lacking these days in the souless boxes in the larger chain. Was nice to a cinema that had that hint of old school.
Great little cinema treats, plus features you may have missed.
As a bonus it's very reasonably priced and in central London.
A nice small cinema showing both blockbucter and independent films. Good price for the location.
Downstairs screen is raked uphill, a slightly odd experience and not what I was expecting. Fine otherwise.
Great old style cinema with fantastic sound and a brilliant, original selection of films for reasonable prices.
Great independent cinema which isn't too pricey compared to the near by multiplexes and has a unique selection of films showing every week.
Ridiculously comfortable cinema, very relaxed away from general cinema problems eg noise, phones etc. The seats are more spacious and comfortable and the snacks are cheaper. The staff very friendly, enjoyed the film. Can't complain!
Watched "The Room" here. The staff were great, fantastic atmosphere, fun crowd.
One of the best Cinemas in London. The Prince Charles often plays old classics, themed seasons and marathon nights. As Tarantino said: "some people like the movies they like other people like movies". If you like movies, you'll like PCC.
The staff are cool,the membership is affordable and worth it...
The best of the west end. Decent ticket prices and great to see older films. Go here it's great
A superb old-school cinema with amazing seasons of film, 70mm & 35mm screenings, overnight themed screenings and cult movie nights. Genuinely amazing.
Good little venue. Saturday night seemed very busy! Getting a drink was painful, they had 1 bottle of red left!?
A truly magical independent cinema showing a mix of indie movies and old classics on the big screen. A real must for film fans. Check out the website for listings. All nighters, pyjama parties and movie quote alongs or sing along are the norm here.
Place that has staff full of people that love films. Staff are airways so helpful. Great mixture of cult, classic and modern films, too.
Great indie cinema! Loads of weird and wonderful films, many of which are overlooked by the chains.
perfect for classics which may never be shown on the big screen ever again
Very nice, comfy and cosy cinema where you can see films from all years. Price and food is also cheaper than other big cinema chains. Highly recommended. The atmosphere is very pleasing.
A true London classic. Great cinema showing a selection of cult classic, new and art house films! Hugely recommend going at least once
Great cinema playing some of the greatest movies of all time all around the year. It's got a annual / lifetime membership deal, so you can get deals and preferential tickets.
Good to see classic movies on the big screen.
Friendly atmosphere and very comfy seats as well as a great line up of different films
Quirky place with with an old school feel to watching a film. More than just a film you always feel like you have had an 'experience' at sing/quote-a-long's & had been brought into the qidee Prince Charles Family. You even queue up outside a sign unless you already picked up your tickets. Always a l...
Might be a bit lo-fi compared to the bright and shiny chain multiplexes, but it more than makes up for that with it's soulfulness, atmosphere and brilliant programmes of films old and current.
Do not miss seeing a show in London, for example here
One of the best cinemas in london for classic and independent movies
More affordable than the bigger cinemas around the corner.
One of the best cinemas in London, with a great range of classics and independent films to choose from all year round. Membership is cheap and grants you significant discounts on tickets, only downside is that Screen 2 could be bigger compared to the huge Screen 1.
Best atmosphere in a cinema you could imagine. Love this place and I would highly recommend it to everyone
Where to even start with Prince Charles Cinema? It is without a doubt one of the best Cinemas not just in Central but in London. Unlike the big cinema chains Prince Charles offers more obscure, cult, classic and indie films.
A great place to see an even greater choice of movies. You will never be bored with the choice you have.at the Prince Charles Cinema.
Love this cinema! Very old school and has a nice selection of new and vintage movies. No giant screens and crazy loud surround sound, just popcorn, a beer, and a good movie. Their members card is a great deal.
Overall, a great selection of movies and movie extravaganza. If you add the nice drinks and snack selection and the friendly prices, this is a must go to cinema for the film fanatics out there!
Great cinema, best program & events in London, a shame the downstairs screen can get so uncomfortable.
Love this cinema. Great movies, great atmosphere.
Edit 10 October 2020: cannot wait for this cinema to reopen soon, I miss being able to go and watch movies here. Central London misses you!
Lovely little independent cinema on Leicester Square. One of my favourite places to watch a film in London, although the queues for the bar can get a little ridiculous!
Indeed the best cinema in London, especially to watch a movie you've seen countless times.
A small theater for odd shows you won't find elsewhere in London. Quite pleasant. Seating very comfortable.
It's not bad; but the screen is small and the sound quality isn't on the same level as bigger chains. It's more a niche cinema for people who already like it.
Nothing special, movies are good but theatre itself not so. Not comfortable and either very cold or very hot
Such a pleasure, as always, the Prince Charles cinema is one of those places you can see yourself never abandoning. The rest of the world changes all around you, but the best independent cinema in central London keeps on delivering its ever-satisfying, slightly out-of-date listings. Didn't catch tha...
I like the selection of great classic movies but I disliked the prices they have on snacks and popcorn when they are low quality popcorn.
Retro movies in an old theater setting, red velvet curtains and all.
One of the nicest cinemas in London for films and events.
Fab venue...had a very memorable experience... highly recommend
My new favourite place! I love seeing so many of my favourite movies from over the years on the big screen and at very affordable prices.
I love the odd curve of the auditorium - and the films, of course. Drinks choices could be better, especially when it comes to cider.
Always a good selection of films. Great for anyone into 35 and 70mm projections.
There is no better place in London to catch a film. Shows a huge variety of films both old and new, but really comes into its own with its special evenings - all nighters, quote-alongs, sing-alongs, you name it. Do yourself a favour and head down here for one of these events.
Best cinema in London, singalong ecents aleways a good laugh
Seating was terrible for cinema, instead of the seats rising as you go further back it was the opposite, very hard to watch when some 6ft bloke sits in front of you, screen is quite small compared to other cinemas. However I do like that they do a lot of niche films and whatnot.
Still one of the best Indipendent cinema in London. Recently they are showing mainly new and commercial movies and became less cinema d auteur.
It's the PCT. It's the best cinema in the world as far as I am concerned. Always has quirky films on and it's surrounded by great bars and restaurants and is smack bang next to China Town.
Go there.
Decent cinema, screen was a little small, but otherwise all good.
Lovely staff and great indie cinema. They show classic, cult classics, bad films excellent films. The most original cinema I've been to and its smak bang in the middle of London. Go to a sing-a-long, a quote-a-long (mean girls anyone?), an all nighter/marathon or just see some awesome older films fo...
One of the last authentic old-school cinemas, and offers an amazingly varied programme of movies. From cheesy singalongs to contemporary blockbusters to arthouse classics, there's something good to see EVERY DAY.
The best independent cinema showing the best films including modern indie to golden oldies to cult classics. Accept no substitute this is the real deal.
Great vintage cinema with a friendly crew and a great movie selection.
An amazing place for film lovers and the like. They have fantastic showings ranging from new releases to, dare I say it, sing along Frozen. Well worth signing up to their mailing list.
The seats are comfy, the staff are awesome and the ticket prices are amazing for London.
Great selection of old and new films. Friendly and knowledgeable staff with good drink selection.
It's so good these traditional cinemas are still around. This is one of the best.
Nice place. The rows of seats have a strange arc to them unlike normal cinemas. The chairs face down at the back row, then when you get half way towards the screen they are level, then start to arc looking up at the screen as you get closer to the front row. The seats are also too close together (ve...
Great place to see some all time favourites and new films as well
Nine quid in the middle of London fantastic price. Super comfy seats.
First came here to see LAKE PLACID in 1999, been coming back regularly since. The best cinema in London (by a country mile), sublime rep programme (*many* screenings from film prints) and sensational prices. Staff are great. I'll be a regular for as long as I'm breathing. Magnificent place.
An excellent cinema, showing a range of cult classic films and fan favourites. Clearly run by passionate staff - would recommend all film aficionados go
Loved it very clean watched 3 films with a cost of only 20 pounds I will be going back
Will always be my favourite cinema in London - especially since the refit, super slick now!
Really nice experience for see films. Good prices and nice beers and wines
Went to see all three extended versions of LOTR and it was well worth it! Lovely venue, helpful staff
One of the best cinemas in selection and love of movies!
