Curzon Mayfair

There is a instagram man called Archie Curzon, I thought this might be his house. It wasn’t. Instead there was a HUGE colour TV inside which was fun because I never got to watch TV as a child. I sat there and watched a naughty film with Margot Robbie in it. She is pretty.

Really nice experience, you pay a bit more than other cinemas but it’s worth it. It feels more like going to the theatre. We had a nice drink in the bar before seeing the film.

We were in cinema room 1 which is not like the other pictures you see on reviews. The seats are worn which stains. There are no tables or cup holders to put drinks and snacks so you hold everything or put them on the floor. We even paid extra for the seats we had but really was not worth it. Very much needs new seat covers and a makeover. The staff were nice tho

Old school cinema, but good sound and picture. Not the usual enormous assortment of drinks and snacks, but loved we could get both salted and buttered Pop-corn.

TOP GUN 2 - MAVERICK ! Brilliant! We hadn’t been before, typically regulars at Everyman but times didn’t work so Curzon we went. Great central location, fab entrance area, and screen 1 is a very cool space. Love the height of the ceiling and the detail. Seats are super comfy. Tasty snack BUT, why hot chocolate is served in a take away cup and not a proper mug!

We bought our tickets but left after 20’mins as I think the heating was broken. Mentioned it to the staff but they said everything was as per normal ! Nothing worse than watching a film in a freezing cinema

Great Movie Theatre. Caution! Movie 2 has no air con and the staff won't bother telling you. Not until you come out sweating like a race horse. Then they will say 'oh - you need to come out early so we can grant you a refund' What happened to honest business? Red wine is really bad this year and warm like a hot summer day. Avoid and try the white wine.

Unique cinema screen. Relaxing and quiet atmosphere on Saturday afternoon. Will come back. Love the decor in the cinema

Atrocious!!!! Disgraceful! Total disregard for a Disabled Customer! Last week Saturday the 11th of February at 4pm, I got to this brand cinema I had heard so much about. As soon as I rolled up to the disabled access entrance, I noticed it was cornered off from the inside (the doors are made of glass). With a look of confusion, I sent my two able-bodied buddies to walk in and ask someone how I could get in. The lady at the front desk (didn't see her name tag but she had black hair) didn't bother coming out to talk to me at all or addressing me in any way!!! I was invisible to her! She did not look at all apologetic and promptly told (not explain) my friends - the ramp is broken. There was no engineer being called to fix it, there was no alternative way of my wheelchair getting in, there was no apology or look of embarrassment for disregarding the disabled access regulations to their establishment. The lady actually asked my friends if I could get up and walk down the stairs, leaving my wheelchair at the foyer. I was appalled! Firstly, if I could walk mate, would not be sitting in a wheelchair. Secondly, there was no way I was going to leave such an expensive piece of equipment (electric wheelchairs ain't cheap). We shook our heads, told them that it was absolutely unacceptable and got in a taxi to Picturehouse Central at Piccadilly Circus. Shame on you Curzon Mayfair . Fix your ramp and pay attention to disabled customers. We are not less than or invisible. Ensure you are in line with disabled access regulations for commercial establishments in effect since the 2010 Disability Act (I have read every page). You have been put on notice SHAME!

Lucky enough to have a friend working here :D Watching a movie in this place is an experience, Up there in the balcony the VIP sits are just amazing!! Very comfy and literally you can do whatever you want nobody's watching you' Keep calm and enjoy the movie while sipping on champers! :)

I do like the convenience of the Vue & Odeon cinemas - they are everywhere. But they are lacking in 'uniqueness'. When you come in to the Curzon Mayfair - quietly tucked in beautiful leafy streets it gives you a feel of having the cinema *experience* - just like back in the 1950s where people dress up for movies and it was an occasion - not an repeating loop of blockbusters and mass motion picture production. The main screen is huge and although seat positioning isn't my favourite (stall style so if someone is above average height in front of you... you might have to tilt to the side) -- I seriously enjoy my cinema experience there.

I have often walked past the Curzon Mayfair and thought it was a unique location to have a cinema. I had always looked for an opportunity to go in and this week... I finally did! I am a big James Bond fan. Seen 'em all. Many times. In the case of Live and Let Die... Hundreds of times! So. Spectre is out. First night. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to don a suit, head to a classy Mayfair cinema and enjoy one of my favourite film franchises in big screen, big surround sound glory. At least... That's what I expected. And I was sorely disappointed. Ticket prices for two were £31. For that, I was not able to book the seats.... For all I knew, I couldn't even sit next to the person I went with! Drinks at the bar - £20 for a glass of bubbly, Pepsi for me and a small packet of crisps. Ouch. That's sort of forgivable. But I still felt like Curzon were taking the piss. The worst part? Upon entry to Screen 2 (which incidentally smelled exactly the same as an airplane toilet) I was shocked to see how small the theatre was. I was angry to the point that I felt like there should have been some warning online about how tiny it was. We are in Mayfair here guys. People quite literally have bigger screens in their homes around here! The screen was figuratively the size of a 1970's portable. And guess what? Every time a customer got up to get a drink, 60% of the screen was lost from the projector being obscured. Shocking. And the sound was of comparable puniness. I was looking forward to this. The total spend between two people was £90+ for movie and some drinks. Should I steal it from the web next time? Watch it at home with an actual bottle of Dom Perignon?!? It's pretty much the same price kids... I won't. I don't steal movies and music. It leaves less money in the pot to make good entertainment. But y'get m'point?

I'm always on the lookout for unusual cinema and screening spots, as I feel like the overall experience of such an outing is fairly important if you're making an evening of it. I went to Curzon Mayfair a couple of days ago to see Changeling and I wasn't disappointed. Okay, it draws a sloane crowd, but the 1960s decor and large seats certainly make up for it. The bar too gets things started in the right direction too. There are even royal boxes, not that you'd be able to afford them in your lifetime though: as a private art-house venue, expect high prices. I paid a scorching £12 for my humble pew. Ouch.

Located fairly opposite the Royal Saudi Arabian embassy, the Mayfair Curzon Cinema is probably one of the very best in central London, and the area is much more pleasant in comparison to Leicester Square. From time to time, the Curzon Mayfair does have Gala screenings and film premiere red carpet events. In the past, the film premieres at Curzon Mayfair which were, "Cloud Atlas", "Now is Good", "Holy Motors", "Now is Good", "The Heat" - (Sandra Bullock film), "The Two Faces of January" and "The Other Woman" (Cameron Diaz film) Well, to have a Curzon Cinema in the heart of London's upscale Mayfair district, is such an ideal venue of arts and culture.

A bit of a trek from Green Park Station, through Shepherd's Market (which has a nice village-like feel, a charming small square tucked away between Piccadilly and Curzon Street). The Curzon Mayfair has a huge screen 1, with really comfortable seating, and a smaller screen 2 up narrow stairs. Been a few times for premieres and Q&A's. Premieres are more intimate here and you get more chance to see the stars arriving, and even bumping into them in the small area outside the cinema or in the small foyer.

Curzon Mayfair, it feels like you're limping along after former glory as one of the original London cinemas. I've been to the Curzon a few times now, on week nights and Sunday evenings and have yet to visit on potentially more popular nights such as Thursday - Saturday. There have been a maximum of 30 people or so each time I have visited and tickets are quite expensive, even with a Cineaste membership it is £9.50 a ticket, £12.50 for someone with no membership. Having spent a bit of time in Clapham Picturehouse, and other types of purposefully designed cinemas such as the Everyman chain, I've felt very disappointed with the Curzon, it's genre specific choice of films (art house, mostly), the prices and it's lack of atmosphere. It always feel like the place is closing down, even before a couple of films are about to kick off, none of the buzz you get in Clapham Picturehouse. At the Mayfair Curzon you can't even take wine glasses or beer glasses into the cinema which is a little patronising, they have to be served in plastics. I regret becoming a member but will continue to visit as long as it's my local cinema - not worth trekking to. I miss the picture houses :-(

This Mayfair branch was the original of London's Curzon cinema chain and maybe it's owing to this legacy that it's often chosen as the location for the Curzon's premiers and Q & A events. The advanced screenings here really are far ahead of any where else (I watched a film on January 4th not out for general release until the 29th) but, for most of us at least, getting to Mayfair can be a bit of a pain. The Mayfair crowd is what you would expect- I felt very dressed down in my skirt and jumper in comparison to a lot of the people around. I never knew cinema-going was such a fashion event! I think the cinema was expecting a few VIP's and so they roped off the small seating area by the bar. Unfortunately because no one could sit down and they only opened the screen doors at the last minute, everyone was forced to stand uncomfortably around the doors. When you consider that the cinema seats around 500 you can appreciate how squashed we all were. Nonetheless, the Curzon Mayfair is still a lovely cinema. The bar is well stocked for anyone fancying a glass of wine or some posh snacks and there are even Royal box seats upstairs for those with a big budget. The seats themselves are very comfortable and well spaced. The films here are usually a high quality and if you're on the ball you can get tickets to some really great events.

What a beautiful cinema! I visited the Curzon for a special occasion: the gala screening of "The Hundred Foot Journey" with a handful of other Yelpers. That event was handled by the cinema really beautifully and spoke well to the general level of the place. The seats are big and comfortable. I was seated in the last row and the back 2 rows are especially huge and armchair-like. No place in the theatre is a bad seat. The screen is huge and the sound was great. Although a bit different from some of the other "classic" movie houses in central London, I really like the Curzon and hope to catch the odd film there in future!

While not quite up to the Curzon Soho standard, this is a cute little independent cinema. Screen 1 is a classic Art Deco palatial cinema, while screen 2 is a tiny theater that feels like some Hollywood producer's private screening room from the 30's. It makes for an intimate experience with relatively comfy and plush chairs, but definitely not the place you'd want to see some new blockbuster. It's worth it to call ahead to find out which screen the movie you want to see is playing on, as there's a big difference in the experience of each screening room. The bathrooms are Art Deco to a T. There's a small bar in the lobby, where they have a decent collection of drinks and snacks, just not quite as hip or as homy as the Curzon Soho.

You go and do even the most mundane of things in Mayfair and realize, Wow. It's really nice here. Or at least that's what happens when I find myself just going about ordinary life in this slice of upscale London. Catching a movie at the Curzon's a good example of what I'm trying to convey. I've been to this cinema a couple of times. They feature a good line up of films and the seats are super comfy and spacious. The bar's a bit better stocked than most, and it (along with the lobby) is actually a gorgeous example of mid century interiors (I love the sculpted muraled, wall lining the way to the marbled toilets. Yeah, at the end of the day it's just a cinema simply a cut above what I've come to expect from the vast majority of cinemas in this town. And fortunately, unlike much on offer in Mayfair, the prices are the same as pretty much any other London screening room.

About as far away from a 'mainstream' cinema as you can get: quite a tired 70s building, a short and wide auditorium and off-circuit films difficult to find anywhere else. This is similar to 'The Gate' in Notting Hill, although with the exception of the location, not quite as posh. Situated on Curzon Street in the heart of Mayfair and equidistant from Hyde Park Corner and Green Park tubes, it's obvious that the place hasn't changed an awful lot in the time it's been going (it really did bring back memories of long-demolished 70s buildings - orange decor being a prime example!) However, it does have several notable good points: 1) All the clientele are rather nice - no scallies screaming or running from one screen to the next. 2) Very convenient to get to and great to go on from for something to eat afterwards. 3) Unusual films (including the Metropolitan Opera's live HD tranmissions from New York on Saturday evenings. Essentially, if the idea of going to the Odeon on Leicester Square fills you with dread, this is a good place to come for an undisturbed, no hassle evening.

I don't know how old this cinema is, but you'd swear the '70s exploded all over it. It's organic, autumn-coloured, with big, plush seats. Wider than it is long. The concession stand probably serves more wine than fizzy drinks. Definitely not the space-mall stadium-seating of the modern Vue cinemas. It suits the sort of smaller-release, arthouse and independent films they often show here, though. It's a fun theatre. I was here yesterday for a screening that was part of the London Film Festival (http://www.qype.co.uk/events/196171-The-Times-BFI-52nd-London-Film-Festival-BFI-Southbank-London) .

The photo here is not the Curzon Mayfair but the one in Soho. This is an elegant cinema, plush and fine. Sound is fantastic. Good places to eat in Shepherd's Market nearby which is lovely too.

This is a brilliant cinema! In my opinion it is the best of all the curzon cinemas. It does only have 2 screens, but there is less hustle-and-bustle of other curzon cinemas (soho, renoir, richmond ect). I have found that the design of the cinema itself is unique, with a cave-like ceiling in the main screen, and organic shapes and lines throughout the cinema. The atmosphere of the cinema is great, it feels like those smokey cinemas in old films, and has a very cool atmosphere which I love, and regret to see that no other cinema seems to hold. The Curzon Mayfair is the original Curzon cinema, opening in the 30s, and has been one of Britain's most important art-house cinema, since its opening, encouraging and exhibiting both UK and international art-house films. There is a well-stocked bar on-sight, as well as many other pubs, restaurants and bars in the surrounding area that cater to all price ranges.

The Curzon Mayfair is, by any standard, a beautifully well-equipped cinema tucked away in an elegantly understated corner of town. Prices are high and the programming is on the better side of mainstream, appealing to the well-heeled upper middle class set that frequents its environs. I have only been here twice: once for a screening of the LFF, once for a Curzon screening, and both times I was quite put off by how inaccessible the area is by bicycle. By the time I've arrived I am ready to return home. I can imagine tolerating this ordeal better if the films showing there merited the element of event but they rarely do.

I recently visited this cinema for the first time for the live broadast of the National Theatre's production of Frankenstein. I'm very glad we got to see the show at this place as it is an excellent venue. It's rare to find a cinema amongst all the chains that treats its patrons as adults, but with a decent bar with an area for schmoozing pre-show and a well-kept theatre (at least in Screen 1), that is just what you get. The angular stone walls inside the theatre reminded me of some sort of 70s sci-fi show (think Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica) and the seats were plush and comfortable. This a lovely place which I will keep on the radar for future cinema outings.

This is a really nice cinema, in one of London's classiest areas. The main screen is absolutely enormous, with fantastic sound quality. The cinema usually shows really good films - no rubbish. Plus the seats are huge and there is a lot of legroom, unlike some other cinemas (odeon leicester square for example).

Went here to see the Bond movie in screen 2. The room is very small maybe a hundred seats if that many (probably less). Admittedly, we got there too late to get good seats so advise you to go early if in screen 2. The bar is good and you pick you up your tickets from there or just use the email on your phone. It is a relaxed venue and more adult than a massive cinema but the experience is more mellow as well. I would recommend it for dates rather than large group of friends and seating is tight. Enjoy!

Don't get me wrong I love going out on the town for a good old dance and a few drinks however sometimes I just love to go to the movies after a busy day and the thought of being snug and relaxed with a bowl of popcorn just appeals to me in everyway. Cinemas all differ and there is nothing worse than a small screen, dried up popcorn and worst of all uncomfortable seating. That is way the Curzon Mayfair really is a cut above the rest and no wonder it was voted one of London's best cinemas. On the outside it is simple but effective and it soon entices you in with its warmth lighting and the atmosphere inside just looks so welcoming and friendly you just can't resist. It includes two screens and boasting luxury seating and a unique atmosphere for cineastes. This cinema is renowned for its celebrity presence due to all its premieres, so if you are sat in the royal box you never know who warmed up your seat for you!

Let's count the reasons any right thinking person should love the Curzon Mayfair... It's not on Leicester Square Courteous, considerate customers and staff. When folk are this nice it reminds you that one great reason to go to the cinema is the communal, shared experience. The place is cleaned by the bluebirds and door mice from Snow White. It's immaculate. Great screen and comfy comfy chairs. I'm a midget but the Harlem Globetrotter with me always has enough leg room. Proper bar- with kitschy cocktail promotions- my White Swan was a recent triumph. And they let you take the booze in- the fallen Methodist in me can't help but find this a huge thrill. Excellent repertoire- mainly the quality end of the current crop but the smaller screen is regularly punctuated with art house and foreign film goodies. Fabulous 60s tile work in the main cinema space. Let yourself feel like Peggy Olsen out on the town with her new boho buddies. Surrounded by some pub gems for the apres screen. It's not on Leicester Square.

Best cinema in London in my humble opinion. Not full of the popcorn munching, mobile phone texting and talking crowd you find everywhere else! great for a date as Shepherd's Market is so near for drinks / dinner afterwards.

Its nice and evocative in many ways, but a bit tired and lacking the razzle dazzle of the West End cinemas. Still recommend it, but its an acquired taste.

They charge £12 for a ticket and £4 for some nuts. Mind you the nuts are £4 because they are special Curzon nuts. The staff are clearly miserable and tired. The seats are small, the auditorium freezing. While we were having our coffee we heard the staff slagging off the customers as well as the management. We told the manager, a foreign girl with glasses, that the room was really cold and she just shrugged her shoulders and walked away. I am not stepping my foot in a Curzon again.
