Ritzy Picturehouse, Movie theater and bar in Brixton, England
The Ritzy Picturehouse is a cinema with multiple screening rooms in a historic building in Brixton, showing a wide range of films. The venue combines film screenings with a bar where visitors can enjoy drinks before or after shows.
The building opened in 1911 originally as Electric Pavilion with over 750 seats, reflecting London's early purpose-built cinema structures. A major renovation by architect George Coles in 1954 reshaped the interior and preserved the structure for future generations.
The cinema programs films from around the world and documentary works that shape London's film culture. Visitors experience a schedule that brings together local and international perspectives, reflecting the city's diversity.
The cinema sits close to public transportation in Brixton and is easy to reach. Visitors can explore the surrounding area and relax in the bar before or after to extend the experience.
The building is one of Britain's earliest purpose-built cinemas and still carries design elements from its original 1911 construction. These architectural details show how early cinemas were designed as gathering places for the whole community.
