Tyneside Cinema, Art deco movie theater in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
Tyneside Cinema is a four-story building housing three screening rooms in Newcastle upon Tyne, distinguished by Persian-inspired decorative elements and mosaic floors throughout. The spaces are distributed across multiple levels and accommodate different film experiences.
The building opened in 1937 as Bijou News-Reel Cinema under Dixon Scott's direction, initially specializing in newsreels and documentary content. Over time it evolved into a venue for independent and arthouse films.
The cinema presents archive materials alongside contemporary films from around the world, while visitors experience the Persian-influenced decorations and mosaic details that shape its interior character. This mix of heritage design and modern programming creates a living space where film enthusiasts gather.
The cinema sits less than a one-minute walk from Monument metro station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Parking is available at Nelson Street and in several multi-story car parks nearby.
The building contains original stained glass windows and mosaic flooring that were rediscovered during a comprehensive restoration in 2008. These hidden details had been concealed beneath later alterations and were unveiled as part of the renovation work.
