Rio Cinema, Art Deco movie theater in Dalston, England

The Rio Cinema features two screening rooms within an Art Deco building, with decorative elements in blue-grey and warm brown color schemes throughout the interior.

The building started as Kingsland Palace in 1909 with 175 seats, transformed into Kingsland Empire in 1915, and received its current name in 1976.

The cinema presents independent films, documentaries, and international productions while organizing cultural festivals and community screenings for local residents.

Located at 107 Kingsland High Street, the venue offers accessible facilities including gender-neutral toilets and drinking fountains, with multiple bus routes stopping nearby.

During World War II, the basement of the cinema served as an air raid shelter, and in 2017 this same space was converted into a second screening room.
