  This is probably my fave London cinema, I've never thought of it as a food place, certainly the coffee and nibbles are good.

  I love this theatre! It's a great place to grab a drink and discuss the artsy film you just saw and you may run into one of the actors there as well!

  Cinema, cafe, bar, lounge

  This is currently my favourite cinema in London because it comes with a terrific cafe and lounge bar.
  
  Arrive early for a film, buy tickets before the queues and choose drinks or cakes (usually both) from the delicious spread whipped up by the Konditor & Cook patisserie-cafe on the ground floor. The area around Old Compton Street is well known for its extravagant cake shops (eg Patisserie Valerie) and I like the way Curzon Soho have carried on the tradition by hosting this one. It's especially nice that K&C do lovely seasonal gifts like tiny easter cakes and clown ginger bread men (for the clown season!) which you can surprise your friends with.
  
  Little note about the chairs and tables in this cafe - they're the high sort and they're so comfortable and kind of 'chatty'. And if you're solo, there's a great view for people gazing, because the cafe has glass walls.
  
  Downstairs there is a spacious but cosy bar with lots of sofas which is perfect for intimate chats after the film. Curzon make a point of organising special events here. Presently they have a Joe Strummer exhibition downstairs where they've papered a whole corner of the bar with themed posters. There are lots of mini film festivals which give you a chance to catch extras above and beyond the blockbusters. I just missed a Q&A presented by cult Finnish film director Aki Kaurismaki :(
  
  Go Curzon Go! Other cinemas in this group are: The Renoir, Chelsea Cinema, Richmond Filmhouse and Curzon Mayfair.
