Curzon Cinemas
-
Curzon has reflected the highest standards of international film presentation since opening in 1934 in Mayfair. Today Curzon Cinemas are recognised as London's best, and present an exciting programme of events with the world's leading film-makers, as well as live on-screen opera and theatre from New York's Met Opera, London's National Theatre and many other venues around the world.

Curzon Soho opened in 1999, and Renoir, Chelsea and Richmond were integrated in 2006. HMVCurzon, a three-screen cinema in the HMV store in Wimbledon, opened as a joint venture with the retailer in 2009. Further sites are planned for 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The Chelsea Cinema became Curzon Chelsea in 2010 after an extensive refurbishment programme. It is the site of William Friese-Green's workshop where he developed the world's first moving camera in 1886 - truly the home of cinema.
