For a birthday or a private movie night, small and medium rooms give you a cosy screen and comfortable seating without an auditorium-sized bill. Try Boutique Cinema at Exhibit (up to 25) or Close-Up Cinema (up to 40). For a quirky, memorable party crowd, unusual venues in London take the idea beyond a standard cinema room.
For a corporate presentation or AGM, look for strong projection, comfortable tiered seating and a central location. The Everyman screens at Broadgate, Kings Cross and Borough Yards suit business use. For a larger seated audience, theatres in London and small theatres in London scale further.
For a film premiere, press screening or launch, the medium-to-large band gives you the seats and the AV. Consider Screen 1 at Curzon Victoria or Screen Two at The Cinema in The Power Station in Nine Elms. If the event doubles as a shoot or a product launch that needs a controlled set, film studios in London are the natural companion space.
Screening rooms cluster in a handful of well-connected areas. Here is what makes each one work, with a strong Tagvenue room in each.
Soho and the West End
The most central choice and the easiest for guests arriving from across London. Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square sit on the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines, with the Elizabeth line close by at Tottenham Court Road. You are in the heart of Theatreland, Chinatown and a huge choice of restaurants and bars for before or after your screening.
Room to book: Vue Piccadilly Circus on Regent Street, seating up to 127.
City of London
Ideal for corporate guests and after-work events. Liverpool Street and Moorgate connect the Central, Circle, Hammersmith and City and Elizabeth lines plus national rail, and Broadgate has plenty of bars and restaurants on the doorstep.
Room to book: Screen 3 at Everyman Broadgate, an intimate room for up to 24, rated 4.8/5.
Fitzrovia
A short walk from Soho with a quieter feel. Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street cover the Central, Northern and Elizabeth lines, and Charlotte Street is one of central London’s best streets for dining.
Room to book: The Cinema / Screening Room at Electric Space, a cosy room for up to 20, rated 4.8/5.
Shoreditch
The creative, informal end of town, well suited to parties and fan events. Shoreditch High Street (Overground) and Old Street (Northern line) put you among street art, independent bars and food markets.
Room to book: Big screening space at FOMO House Shoreditch, seating up to 100 and rated 4.9/5.
King’s Cross
One of London’s best-connected hubs and the top pick when guests travel in from outside the city. King’s Cross St Pancras carries six Underground lines plus Eurostar and national rail, and Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square offer strong dining nearby.
Room to book: Screen 2 at Everyman Kings Cross, seating up to 107.
Nine Elms and Battersea
A striking riverside backdrop for launches and premieres. Battersea Power Station sits on the Northern line extension, with the Power Station’s own shops and restaurants a few minutes away.
Room to book: Screen Two at The Cinema in The Power Station, seating up to 137.
Most rooms come with a large HD or 4K screen and surround sound as standard. Beyond that, listings vary on room style (classic theatre seating versus modern lounge), capacity, catering and bar options, and extras such as gaming consoles, live streaming or on-site technical support. Check whether a technician is included or hired separately, and confirm whether the price is a hire fee, a minimum spend or hourly before you enquire.
Start with three things: guest count (which sets your size band), event type, and area (central for convenience, Shoreditch for a creative feel). If budget leads the decision, cheap theatres in London is the best place to compare lower-cost seated options. Then match on AV quality and seating comfort, important for anything longer than a short screening, and confirm accessibility and transport links on the venue map.
Is there a private cinema for two in London?
Yes. The small band (up to 40 guests) includes cosy rooms suited to very small groups, from a private movie night for two upwards, such as Electric Space (up to 20). These typically book on a minimum spend rather than a large hire fee.
What is the cheapest way to hire a screening room in London?
Hourly hire (from £210) keeps costs down for short screenings, and small rooms carry the lowest minimum spend (averaging £467). For budget-led options also compare cheap theatres and affordable venues in London.
How many people can a London screening room hold?
Capacities run from around 20 in the smallest rooms to over 130 in large auditoriums, with medium rooms holding roughly 65 to 100. Your chosen layout affects the final number.
Can I get catering and a bar with the room?
Many rooms offer catering and bar packages, and minimum-spend bookings are designed to combine hire with food and drink. Confirm packages on the individual listing.
