Screen25
📍 London, Greater London
A volunteer-run community cinema in South Norwood with monthly Saturday family screenings including kids' packs. Films run 3–4 months after wide release. Bench seating is firm — cushions help.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families who value community atmosphere and regular monthly film events over catching the latest releases. The kids' packs add genuine value to family screenings, and the food selection — particularly the pies — draws repeat visitors. Bring cushions for the bench seating and cash as a backup for card payments.

“Helpful staff, good ambiance, good selection of films. Would highly recommend this community cinema. Wide selection of alternative snacks .. you may be advised to take cash as a back up to card, as on odd occasions the internet let's the card machine down! This does not affect the movie however.”
