Prince Charles cinema saved from potential closure
For those of you getting mad because of the name, it's a historied cinema that serves to showcase quality films :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Charles_Cinema
It shows a rotating programme of cult, arthouse, and classic films alongside recent Hollywood releases – typically more than fifty different films a week on two screens (300 velvet seats downstairs and 104 high back leather seats upstairs). It also regularly hosts a sing-a-long version of The Sound of Music, as well as The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Room. The cinema has achieved a cult status amongst fans, and is the only independent cinema in the City of Westminster.
Since it's an indie cinema that does niche programming, it's worth celebrating that film fans still have a nice venue.
