On the Grid : Curzon Cinema
"Formerly the Renoir Cinema, the Curzon is an iconic venue in Bloomsbury. Opening in 1972 the cinema originally had 2 screens and was dedicated to showing small independent films. Now housing 6 screens with a 320 person capacity, the Curzon Cinema still screens some of the smaller releases with one screen exclusively showing documentaries. The fusion of state of the art development and its historic roots makes this cinema unique. Visually, the interior is heart achingly beautiful with a brutalist influence - raw materials such as concrete and brass dominate throughout and execution of typography/signage is perfect. As if this isn't enough already, films are shown via the latest 4K high-definition digital projectors. They also do a mean pre-film G&T." - IYA Studio
