Picturehouse Central is situated in the heart of London’s West End, a stone’s throw away from Leicester Square. The entrance is on the corner of Great Windmill Street and Shaftesbury Avenue at the centre of London’s famous theatre district. Home of Sundance Film Festival: London. We programme an eclectic mix of quality mainstream cinema, foreign language, indie, arthouse and a strong focus on documentaries from around the world. We also host regular live director/talent Q&As. More than a cinema, there is bustling cafe on the ground floor open from 9am, a spacious and relaxing bar & restaurant on the first floor and a newly opened private members bar covering two floors and roof terrace with stunning views across Piccadilly.
