5 of the Best Cinemas Near Oxford Street

A night at the flicks is a quintessential form of entertainment and has been for more then 100 years. Things have changed a lot from the early days of cinema and Charlie Chaplin but it is still as popular as ever as a family afternoon, a pass time for friends, out or a back-row titillation for couples of all ages.

Reclining chairs; huge packages of popcorn and soda; a big sausage; and 3D or 4D experiences; have replaced a flickering black and white projection, opium, cigarettes and beer and now cinemas offer an unprecedented audio visual presentation.
