Chain cinemas, eh? Nobody really likes them, but they seem a bit like Boris Johnson or maths – if they were taken away, God only knows what would fill the gap. Well, we’ve found something, and we shout NO MORE! to the horrors of the homogenised, pasteurised and overprised (okay, overpriced) chain cinema experience. Best For Film loves independent cinemas, and we don’t care who knows it.

From this page, you can find your way to the best and quirkiest independent cinemas in London and the UK – simply click on a cinema’s name to find out more about it, browse forthcoming screenings and read reviews of recent events. If your favourite indie cinema isn’t listed, email us at [email protected] and we’ll do the rest. Independent cinema forever!
