Phoenix Cinema

This gorgeous single-screen cinema in East Finchley can fairly claim to be London’s oldest continuously-open cinema: it was completed in 1910 and opened its doors in 1912. Programme-wise, the Phoenix shows a mix of independent, mainstream and foreign films, and its auditorium is one of the most beautiful places to watch a film in London. This is also a great cinema to catch directors and actors introducing their latest work, live opera, theatre and ballet and events aimed at introducing children to great cinema.
