Watched Drive here last night - a wonderful cinema and an even better film. Okay, the ticket prices aren't cheap but you're paying to watch a film where you're not going to get idiots kicking the back of your seat or playing on their phones during the film. A very good experience overall.
Now, the ticket prices were alright, but £3 for a pack of wasabi nuts and about £6 for a glass of rosé is just a bit too ridiculous! It was the first time I actually had alcohol in the cinema and I probably won't be repeating it anytime soon. The choice of wasabi nuts in the bar instead of the usual popcorn was curious, but at these prices, I'm not that sure..
The screens though were nice and spacious and me and my boyfriend had fun, but I wouldn't say this is my favorite cinema and with that many cinemas in Central London, I don't know if I'll be coming to this one anytime soon.
An ok cinema, seems to bag the more independent films then charge a bit more for it, hmmm fair enough, but no ticket price should be the same amount as it would cost to eventually buy the film once it is released! I think they need to trim there overheads a bit/better advertising/more showing that way more customers and lower price and less elitist film snobs quaffing all the coffee like a third rate french cliche.
Smug, self-satisfied staff, ridiculously expensive, "own brand" snacks and even more brutal ticket prices. £12.50 to see a film on a Monday evening? No thanks.
i recently paid £13 (inc booking) to see a film at the curzon. those are crazy prices even for central london. how are you going to get in a younger, enthusiastic film loving crowd or encourage people to take a punt on a film they wouldn't normally go to see? the curzon is a great cinema, it's just a shame that nowadays it's quite an exclusive one too.
Quite a bit pricier than a normal cinema and no concessions on weekends. No significant difference in quality except slightly fewer adverts and less popcorn smell.
I have been here a couple of times and liked it. I disagree that the staff are unfriendly: i went last week and one of the staff said hello and was very polite. I went in the afternoon and it was cheaper. You do not get irritating people in there who talk during the film etc, so for that reason alone i prefer it it the multiplexes. The seats were comfortable and the toilets very clean and airy. A thumps-up from me.
A welcome change to the norm - so what if they're a little more expensive; it's a nice place to watch a movie. What do you want, identikit cinemas? Plenty of cheaper options out there.
I for one welcome our Quinette overlords ;)
This is my favourite cinema in London. Fantastic bar and cafe, comfortable movie experience and friendly staff.
Good value overall. Highly recommended.
great location and friendly vibe here. coffee could be better. good cinema xx
Curzon Soho now charges £12.00 for a ticket. No matter how nice the bar is or how great the film program is, having to pay £12.00 to see a movie at the cinema is plain wrong. I would expect being ripped off like that from the huge state of the art mega screens in Leicester Square but not from an art house cinema. Some people accept this and think it's fine, saying "this is what central london is like". I don't think it's fine and won't stand for it. I surely have 12 pounds to spare, but handing over for a movie ticket last weekend simply felt like being robbed. Had I been on my own I would have just told the person at the till to keep the ticket, but I was with friends and didn't won't to spoil their night. Won't be going back.
Great place to watch a film that Vue or the Odeon would otherwise shun. And let's face it - no riff raff either.
