Located on Ealing Broadway at the heart of one of London's most historic film locations, Ealing Picturehouse is an eight-screen cinema, café and bar that pays homage to both the work of the venerable film production studio Ealing Studios and the location's former cinema lives.
Originally built in 1934 as the Forum Cinema, the space has had many cinema guises in the near-century that's followed – and Ealing Picturehouse unites all those influences to showcase the very best that the world of film has to offer, from the blockbuster to the arthouse.
