Backyard Cinema 2-4 Armoury Way, London SW18 1SH

"A little over hyped, but the experience was nice for a Saturday evening. The “experience” room portion felt a bit rushed, but the staff were super committed to the silliness and fun. Food options were limited to chicken burgers and pizza, but there were vegetarian options at both offerings. Cocktails were standard price for London, and were on theme to the holidays. The facility was really warm and cozy , and the seating was comfy. Overall, a cute date night, would likely do another evening for a movie specific theme."

"Finally went for the first time today with my partner, and I must say we were quite disappointed! No disrespect to the team involved, as we can definitely see the hard work that they put in - It’s impressive to see some of the things they have done, but for the price we paid, we don’t think it was worth it at all. The ‘train ride’ had some cool lighting, but the performance was quick and not that good. After the train we walked for a few seconds down a very cool corridor with mirrors and lights, and then the beautiful winter themed cinema. As it’s halloween season, we felt a lack of the decor to put us in the mood for the movie. I’ve seen some pictures of the Backyard Cinema, including the advertised ones and it was not what I expected. It let us down when we were there. I’m aware Backyard Cinema often changes their theme etc, and I also read some great reviews, I’ll be definitely willing to try it again in the future when it’s all changed. But this time the money wasn’t worth it."

"10/10 experience The enthusiasm of the crew is phenomenal. We went to Miami and the pre-show was great. Though I think the one of California might be better. I don't have regrets though. I loved the vibe, music was great as well before the movie started. Movie itself was great quality too. The sacks in which you sit are alright, obviously not as good as normal cinema seats. In my opinion: 10/10 Vibe 8/10 food and drinks ('cocktails' and popcorn) 6/10 seat I think choosing the right movie is the most important part (obviously). We went to Grease, which is just a great classic."

"Absolutely amazing. The decor is incredible. The staff was so enthusiastic and entertaining (maybe less the lady at the snack bar…). The screen wasn’t of amazing quality but it’s still great experience. Highly recommend. The kids loved it, and so did we! Ps: loved the story of how it started, prior to the movie. It was a nice touch!"

"So much fun! Wasn't expecting the actors at the beginning but it was very magical! Really got us into the Christmas spirit! We saw love actually, could see clearly, seats were super comfy and drinks were reasonably priced for a London attraction (£23 for a bottle of wine) Would definitely go back, would be ace during the day for kids too if they like a movie day!"
