BFI Southbank

A hell of a lot classier (and cheaper) than your local Odeon and with fewer popcorn-chucking savages breaking their ASBO curfews. Designed for overlooked and underrated features, as well as favourite classics, you're likely to bump into a very arty bunch of film students, mostly surfing the wi-fi on their Macs in the shiny new Benugo bar. You can also browse hundreds of film and TV titles for free in the new Mediatheque, the BFI's public archives, and pick up hard-to-find titles from the DVDs and books in the filmstore.
