  The BFI have done an excellent job in creating space to allow a broad examination of what can be accomplished with the moving image. The most amazing feature is the Mediatheque. Anyone can go in and browse through monthly rotations of films, TV shows, etc from the BFI's archive. For free. You can book up to two hours and they seating is comfortable in front of a wide screen TV. The mediatheque also offers free screenings of some of their treasures on the "studio" screen, which I enjoyed immensely.
  
  They have a couple of cafes. I didn't really explore the menu at the restaurant/cafe; but did not that they have comfortable looking, colorful sofas to lounge on and free wireless.
  
  I could easily while away a whole day here moving from space to space and indulging my inner film geek. I have never seen a place like this anywhere else. I hope more Londoners come to understand what a treasure they have in their midst.
