                <description><![CDATA[The Barbican Cinema, hidden away in the depths of the Barbican complex, is/was a leading cinema exhibition centre with an international programme full of past classics, screen talks with film giants, lively film discussions, and contemporary festivals. While for years the Barbican art gallery and the concert hall have been lauded for providing world class artistic entertainment the cinema has remained largely underappreciated by those not in the know, despite the fact that it was the only cinema rivalling the BFI for high quality imaginative programming. With cuts afoot this cinema looks likely to lose what had make it special so I urge you to visit it soon while its programme still resembles what it once did and while it still has a claim to call itself ‘London’s most diverse cinema’.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[As a teenager I passed the Renoir on the way home from a night out in central London. It was part of the exciting, interesting London I knew little of then, having grown up in the eastern suburbs. Years later I worked nearby and was a regular visitor. Descend into its subterranean world and you will find a friendly place showing films that are a bit different. It is part of the re-vamped Brunswick centre, which has now realised its architect's dream of a modern village with restaurants ideal for a pre-film meal. Afterwards have a drink in Dean's Bar in the Waverley House Hotel, which has appeared in several films and has been the location of many nights out for me.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This awesome art deco cinema, one of the oldest in the UK, never fails to hit the spot, offering a friendly and charming viewing experience every time. Their discerning choices of film include classics such as 'Psycho' along with any new releases that are worth seeing. They host regular talks from local celebrities, offer scrumptious home-made cakes and many other goodies. Oh, and did I mention the Earlybird lunchtime screening, where you get a ticket for £6 which includes one of their excellent cups Joe?!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Just off Leicester Square, this is the cheapest indie cinema in London's West End (probably even the UK), with ticket prices at no more than £4, and as low as a quid all day Fridays! They show a great mix of top blockbuster and indie films just off their mainstream run, and also host special themed nights for cinephiles.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The best cinema in London, albeit with the very worst cafe/bar (dire food, miserable staff). Great for catching up on the classics of world cinema, sniffing out the work of upcoming filmmakers or attending one of the many film festivals.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Tucked away on a quiet street in Fitzrovia, this trendy five-star  hotel is home to an intimate basement cinema. The Sunday night film club costs about £35 and includes a three-course meal at Oscar, the hotel's restaurant, and entrance to a film screening.<br><br>It's an affordable way to wine, dine and flop in front of a celluloid classic. The bright orange leather seats are pretty stylish and roomy enough to snuggle up in the back row-would really impress on a first date.]]></description>
