About this space

Our boutique community cinema features amazing surround sound and super comfortable sofas for you to enjoy feel-good classic movies every week. We show a variety of films from arthouse to the latest blockbuster, family screenings to feel good singalong musicals.

Our cinema is also available to private hire for £195 for two hours. We can also host kids parties in the cinema room on Saturday and Sunday mornings and during school holidays (we have been told the close proximity to a bar makes these parties rather more enjoyable for the parents!)

My experience with The Exhibit Bar was great from start to finish. It has always been my dream to rent out a movie theatre for a bday party and watch a film with friends. Unfortunately, most cinema rooms are incredibly expensive and you have to pay for the licensing of most films in order to screen them (which isn’t the case with this venue). The team was quick to reply to all of my initial queries before booking and afterwards. I had all the information I needed in the matter of a few hours. I took around 17 friends to watch Twilight for my 20th birthday and it was so fun! When we arrived, I was informed the original cinema room I had booked wasn’t available because of problems with the projector, but they upgraded us to an even bigger cinema room free of charge. It was super atmospheric, with a Christmas tree, music, and warm lighting once we walked in. There were candles lit by each of the side-tables and cozy blankets on the couches. The food was also very yummy (I had the mac and cheese and some of my friends had the burger, spring rolls, and brownies) and the drinks came quickly when we ordered them. The tequila was especially nice. Finally, one of the lovely staff brought us a box of Christmas crackers which was very kind. I will be sure to recommend the bar to my other friends. I was initially skeptical as we’re students in central london so hadn’t been to an area so far before, but it was worth it! Thank you again for the perfect service and taking such good care of my friends and I!
