December 2024I heard one girl saying: “the best cinematic experience that I ever had!” And she was totally right. If you’re visiting London, you should go. If you’re a local you should always go. It’s cosy, comfortable and beautiful. They have great snacks too.

December 2024I went here a while back with my girlfriend to watch the Dune 2 movie. The cinema is very aesthetic and cozy. The chairs are very comfortable and there is the option to get a "bed" for couples and friends. The viewing screen was very good and the sound was capturing. We will definitely be back to watch cinemas here.

November 2024Great experience! Highly recommend and definitely worth the price of admission. We booked the bed seats and they were super comfy. The snacks and food options are also great. Excellent theater experience!

February 2025If you’re ever in Portobello and craving a cinema experience that’s anything but ordinary, the Electric Cinema is the place to be. The architecture is absolutely stunning — it’s like stepping into a movie set. The vibe? Super chill and cozy, with a real cool, welcoming energy that makes you want to hang out for hours. . Plus, it’s warm (in both the literal and figurative sense) — perfect for those days when you just want to sink into a comfy chair and get lost in a film. Highly recommend.

December 2024Great Cinema, the lay down seats are good. Although the hot drinks were not available due to a faulty coffee machine (even tea and hot chocolate 🤔)
