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.
🏆 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.

“What 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.”

“Really beautiful cinema but no real popcorn! £6 for a bag of package popcorn & £4 cokes. The sound quality was mid too. Good for one time experience but would not return.”
