Two premium London cinema locations: Portobello with leather armchairs, two-person sofas, and front-row beds; White City with laser projection and Dolby Atmos across three screens. Both offer table service and upscale food menus.

โœ“ Luxury seatingโœ“ Beautiful interiorโœ“ Table serviceโœ“ Classic and new releasesโœ“ Friendly staffโœ“ Premium pricing

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with older children who can appreciate a genuinely different cinema format - table service, upscale seating, and a calm atmosphere reward those who want an occasion rather than a standard film trip.

โ€œWhat a beautiful picture theatre tucked in the hustle and bustle of Portobello Road. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the sofa chairs are glorious, great sound and just the size of the theatre, Row B2 was perfect spot. Loos are also nice! Thank you Electric, will definitely be back.โ€
