This cinema has a lot of character, and the old stage balcony feeling creates drama. On Tuesdays the tickets are only 3.50 each, but the downside is that the old seats are small and my bum was sore by the end of the movie...not the most comfortable seats, but can't beat a night at the movies for the price.

Fab old cinema, that is slightly worn around the edges, that however adds to its luster. Suprising large on the inside and with great views from the balcony seats. Its also cheap in on Tuesday.

Great old cinema - proper size with circle and stalls, the fully monty. Belongs to Kensington Temple, the charismatic christians, of all people. It's probably about the last cinema that you could enjoy a fag with movie. I think they banned smoking about 2 or 3 years ago.

Have just spent 16 days in London seeing theatre, visiting with friends and generally soaking up the London performing arts vibe. On one of my 'discovery' walks I found the Coronet Theatre and the note on the front door saying all Tuesday sessions 3 pounds 50 pence. Too good to pass up. The following Tuesday I met an Aussie director friend of mine, had lunch and saw Last King of Scotland at the Coronet. WOW and DOUBLE WOW, what a beauty of a theatre and such a grand way to see the latest flicks from a balcony seat no less.We absolutely loved it and I'll be definately returning to see films at this most georgous old theatre when next I'm in London.GOLD STAR to all involved in bringing and keeping this treasure alive.Regards.

This is a beautiful 19th century cinema in the Portobello Road/Notting Hill area, much more spacious than it''s immediate neighbours. A huge ornate, gilded, auditorium with a balcony seating area. The cinema started out as a theatre of some repute. King Edward VIIth apparently attended, as well as John Gielgud possibly.It's now one of the most gorgeous cinemas in London, and much under-reported. This is probably largely because of the programming, which is (as far as I'm aware) only current releases. It's target audience is the regular cinemagoer and not the arthouse buff.The cafe/bar is well stocked for the general public, and short on fancy grilled vegetables and cocktails which have overrun the immediately neighbouring independant cinemas. And I for one am thankful for that. The staff are friendly and talkative. They behave more members of a club, or an extended family, than the staff of a cinema.As a result, the Coronet is where I go for current releases, in a stunning setting which remains relatively low priced, and yet provides all refreshments you might need (unless it's sundried things, Italian bread, and pink wine from France.)In short, I can't help giving them top marks in all categories. If I had one suggestion, it's that they should broaden their range of films a little, without, heaven forbid, getting too close to the Gate or the Electric.
