Area: West

One of the aims of Memory Palaces is to demonstrate the staggering number of cinemas there have been in every corner of London – no neighbourhood has been without one at some point in the last 100 years!

To help navigate this breadth I’ve divided London into nine areas so you can explore the cinemas in the places that most interest you.
