    We watched The Northman there recently and I was excited to see how they transformed the cinema. It definitely looks better than before - seats are good, it is spacious... From what I understood from their website, the bar is available only for members. Which is a shame if it's true. We didn't try to visit the bar this time as our screening was quite late (20:30) and we went straight in. But as a regular cinema visitor and a fan, I would rather go to one of the other cinemas in the area which offer non members bar (even delivered to your seat), great atmosphere for the same price.

    Has to be one of the best cinemas we have been too, and we have been lucky enough to review quite a fair amount in and around London. First of all, the location is excellent; it's not too far of a walk from South Kensington, Imperial Wharf or West Brompton. The actual cinema is part of the Picture House chain, and we felt the best one visited yet. Completely redone, you can tell by even the smell of new paint and furniture! Feels like walking into a more modern west end theatre - it has that vibe but a cinema instead. It's brilliant! You have on the first floor a bar, serving drinks popcorn and if you go upstairs there is a cafe area, that serves the coffees and cakes, you go up another level there is a proper bar, food and seating area. It's well spread out and feels like a real sense of quality attached to it! We would recommend anyone to at least try it. Plenty of restaurants to try out, around the area also. Solid A***** from us. Can't wait to go back! LDT x

    There was no heating on in the main number 1 cinema. It was freezing cold and got colder and colder the more I was sitting there as it's such a big screening room. This is not the first time I've experienced this problem with no heating on as they don't seem to put the heating on during the day. The staff were so rude at the box office. One girl in particular with long dark hair and glasses was really obnoxious and has a real attitude problem which needs to be addressed. I don't expect to pay £15 for a ticket and receive this rude attitude from staff and sit in a big freezing cold cinema for nearly 3 hours. I expect to sit in comfort and receive polite service. Is that too much to ask for for this price? Which is why I will be going to the Everyman Cinema about 5 minutes down the road on Kings Road in future which is lovely and warm and the staff are really friendly and helpful. And the sofa style seating is a lot more comfortable there too.

    Lovely theater, has a lot of the art deco features still. The seats are very comfortable and reclinable. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Had problems downloading the actual ticket because my phone is old and I left it to the last minute but it was quickly sorted.

    Absolutely beautiful cinema. Comfortable, excellent staff - five stars there, but eye-watering prices. Nearly£18.00 to watch a beautiful French film, Paris Memories. I was one of seven folk in the audience. Hardly Barbie or Oppenheimer crowds. So to the manager, might you get a few more bums on seats for less mainstream films by charging lower prices?

  • 4/5 Suzanne I. 1 year ago on Google
    Corner site mid Fulham road. Nearest tube Gloucester rd. Art Deco facade. Former Odeon and Cineworld film outlet. It's much more comfortable to sit in as a Picture house venue because the seats are wider, and the aisles are better spaced. Bags, brollies, coats can all be near your feet while you watch the movie..No ear splitting decibel laden sound system, or long previews of other films coming soon or awful local ads. Relaxing, calm. There's a lovely in house cafe restaurant that we didn't see until we'd been elsewhere. Corridors lined with interesting framed posters. Only thing that lets it down are the toilet facilities. They're a little jaded, particularly the disabled one.

    Came here for the Saturday morning kid's club: A screening of excellent value for you to take your kids to. Our family practically had the screen to ourselves and the film (Abominable) was good for adults and children alike.

    Nice cinema but uncomfortably warm. We were here previously and the only air-conditioned room was the members bar, this time even that wasn't air-conditioned. Really unsure why they do this as every room appears to have AC units. We came early to have a drink but it was so uncomfortable we ended up going to just sit in the cinema really early. Not what you would expect from a higher end cinema

    The staff here at Fulham Road Picturehouse are really friendly and helpful. The cinema is very beautifully decorated in the art deco style decor.

    Customer service isn’t great here, on a couple of occasions I have seen mice scurrying around in the screens. Mentioned to members of staff who weren’t the slightest bit bothered. Sometimes when it’s empty, there’s no one around to check tickets, kind of feels like you could just wander in without paying. Also, tonight in Screen 1, the staircase lights by the aisle seats were left on for the entire film, which was a bit distracting.

    Very comfortable cinema, nice seats and chairs. Best thing is the volume is actually decently high unlike many cinemas I've been to

    Beautiful cinema with super comfy seats and loads of leg room. Lovely staff too. Clean, tidy, quiet, without all the need for huge popcorn, fizzy drinks etc A real gem of a place, enabling you to enjoy a film in peace and quiet.

    Great cinema, the staff always seem so lovely. There is a bar on the first floor with a good selection of drinks / snacks for pre-film experience.

    Visited Fulham Road Picture for a movie, and despite it not being our local cinema, its proximity and multiple screens make it a convenient choice. The cinema itself exudes a pleasant atmosphere, complete with comfy seating that enhances the overall movie-watching experience. If you're in the area and looking for a cinema with a nice ambiance and multiple screening options, Fulham Road Picture is definitely worth considering.

    Fun old movie theater. We saw a rat in the theater before the show and they kindly reimbursed us. Basic theater, experience and services but I don’t think they advertise more.

    Attended 'Wish' on Sunday 25 November with my godchildren. Such comfy seats! Lovely cinematic experience!

    Love this cinema! So clean, no food leftovers on the seats. Very stylish and elegant, beautifully decorated in the Art Deco style. What's even more important, it's a place for true cinema lovers who can enjoy watching the movie instead of their pleasure being destroyed by the pong from hot snacks, the sound of chomping on crisps, slurping on soft drinks and crackling confectionery packets. I stopped going to cinemas for a decade because the smell of food and sound of digestive processes was simply unbearable. Fortunately, Picturehouse restored my faith in the institution of cinema. Thank you!!!

    Love the dog friendly showings, even if my dog always sleeps through the whole thing 🙈

  • 4/5 Phill J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice cinema chain but can get rather long queues due to the shortage of staff for tickets and snacks. Whilst this is an older cinema it has been refurbished to marginally improve itself, where it used to be quite run down.

    We got there a bit early and enjoyed a drink in the members bar. Great vibe and cozy seats.

  • 1/5 Guy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Misinformed staffed and arrogant management. Was told by the teller staff that we can sit anywhere in the cinema as no seats will be assigned. When I asked if I could choose seats anyway then the response was that “the system does not allow it”. When we were in the cinema we were assigned seats right at the front (which is not my preference), we sat anywhere as directed but then forced to move thrice because of people’s online bookings where they chose their seats. Other guests were experiencing the same issue and so I went to speak the the manager where he had no idea as to what I was talking about and also spoke to me in a very condescending manner. Unfortunately we were left with seats that we were not happy with and no solution. A night that we thought would be nice and relaxing turned into a stressful and uncomfortable situation. I do not recommend this cinema.

    Not exactly cheap, but we had the Meerkat 2-4-1 offer. The seats were very nice, comfortable recliners and the quality of the film, audio and visual was very good. My wife and I had the whole cinema to ourselves mainly because we were in the early afternoon showing. Got snacks from the supermarket over the road so didn't get stung by the expensive offerings they sell.

    Went to see The Woman King, we were only like 3 people in the whole cinema. Great film house though, just seems like a lot of people don't go there on weekdays.
