The Cinema in the Arches

"Went to see avatar. the cinema was brilliant lots of leg room. the seats recline and they have a little table for your snacks. The staff are super friendly. Great access for wheelchairs."

"The sound was immaculate. The film itself was great. But the screen felt a bit small. It's a very intimate venue, which comfortable seats, but the rows are a little close to on another. I think it would be a great place to watch a musical or a biopic about a musician."

"Incredible sound quality. The shape of the cinema and the fact that they are so heavily insulated to account for the trains above make the sound and atmosphere just amazing. Plus I think all the weird little squares everywhere are speakers which means there are about 200 of them. The lady behind the counter was very helpful and friendly. Nice yuppie pub next door as well so you can go for a drink and chat about the movie you've just seen. Yep it's a few pound more than a normal cinema but its Battersea so their overheads must be massive. Will definitely be returning."

"Great cinema! The sound is truly incredible. The cinema was almost empty which made the event better. The seats are reclining, and super comfy with a little table for snacks."

"This venue deserves to be much more popular than it seems. I guess due to its location it's easy to miss unless you know it's there. Small-ish screen since it's a smaller gallery you sit closer so never notice. Excellent Dolby Atmos sound. Both subtle and powerful when it needs to be. Since it's still relatively new, it doesn't smell funky or have your feet sticking to the floor. Plenty of space between the (reclining) seats with a small side table for each to hold your drinks and snacks. The seating gallery is nicely angled so you'll still be able to see over the tallest person. Projection and sound is excellent. They either jam mobile phone signals or the arch structure blocks it naturally so you won't get disturbed by other people's phones."
