Looking for a tiny space to watch a massive blockbuster? Look no further. London is littered with loads of wonderful cinemas, big and small.
There are plenty of smaller more 'private' screening rooms in London; many are in hotels, like the Soho Hotel, Charlotte Street Hotel and Covent Garden Hotel. But these are, we think, the smallest public cinemas in London. If you're a fan of independent cinemas, the chances are you've already visited one of these bijou beauties.
There's the Arthouse in Crouch End (with 80 seats in Screen 1); the Lexi in Kensal Green (75 seats); and the Hampstead Everyman with just 72 seats.
Head down to the Picturehouse in East Dulwich and their smallest space, Screen 3, accommodates just 53 people.
Then there's the Shortwave Cinema in Bermondsey where you need to be early to make sure you get one of just 52 seats in their single screen cinema.
Finally we think the home of London's smallest cinema (excluding temporary pop-ups and private screening rooms) is the Vue Piccadilly.
Coincidentally, the Vue is housed in a building that was once one of London's biggest, most lavish West End cinemas: the Plaza Theatre, built in 1926, with seats for 1896 people.
Today, it's converted into a shop below, and five separate screening rooms above. The smallest of these five are Screen 1 with 88 seats; Screen 2 with 59 seats, and Screen 3 with space for just 40 people.
