Tucked away under railway arches, Whirled Cinema is a hidden delight. This Brixton 60-seater delivers the best in recent indie/arthouse offerings (think hyped documentary ‘Generation Wealth’) along with comfy leather sofas, pizza and a resident mixologist – the house mai tai will enliven the third hour of that Ukrainian yak documentary. Niftily, your Oyster card also doubles as your membership card. It’s half cinema, half speakeasy, and a winter warmer for the geekily inclined.
The capital’s full of ways to watch movies. There are loads of mega multiplexes and bougie hipster spots with posh sofas and deluxe food, and they're great. But here we're saluting the lesser know film spots in our city. Think cool film clubs and alt cinemas: from sci-fi specials to cuddly pop ups and arthouse hotspots to a film club celebrating crap movies. Some even cost less than a fiver.
