Phoenix Cinema

Phoenix Cinema in London, one of the oldest continuously running cinemas in the UK, has a unique historical feature: its stunning art deco auditorium. Opened in 1910, the cinema’s interior was designed in 1938 by renowned architect Edward Maufe, who also designed Guildford Cathedral. The cinema has maintained much of its original charm and elegance, providing a glimpse into the cinematic past while still offering modern screenings. Additionally, it is a community-owned cinema, having been saved from closure by local residents and film enthusiasts, showcasing the power of community spirit in preserving historical landmarks.
