Cinema in Hampstead: The Everyman and its Competitors

The Everyman Hampstead pioneered the luxury cinema experience. Here is the full picture of where to watch films in NW3.
The Everyman Cinema on Holly Bush Vale is one of those places that makes you remember why going to the cinema is better than staying at home. Sofa seating blankets on request food and drinks brought to your seat, the template that Everyman later rolled out nationally was invented here in the narrow building that has housed a cinema since 1933.
The programming is reliably strong, new releases alongside classics special events and Q and As with directors and cast. Members receive priority booking and discounts that make the annual fee worthwhile for anyone who goes more than four or five times a year.
Hampstead is also within easy reach of the Odeon Swiss Cottage and the Kiln Theatre in Kilburn for more challenging fare.
