Screen on the Green

The Screen on the Green in Islington is one of the country’s oldest cinemas: it opened in 1913 and has been a single-screen cinema ever since. It was bought by the Everyman chain of luxury cinemas in 2008 and soon after was renamed Everyman Screen on the Green. The cinema retained its iconic neon sign and gained a bar, while losing seats to make space for the more comfortable kind. A mix of standard and premier seats are available (the latter being ‘luxurious sofas with footrests’), with waiters on hand to serve you pizzas, sharing platters and traditional movie snacks at your seat. Directors regularly attend the cinema for introductions and Q&As.
