Curzon Mayfair Cinema, Art house cinema in Mayfair, London, England.
Curzon Mayfair Cinema is a two-screen movie theater on Curzon Street in the Mayfair district of London, with a larger main auditorium and a smaller secondary screen. The main auditorium seats several hundred people, while the second screen offers a more compact setting.
The building was designed by architect H. G. Hammond and built in the 1960s in a modernist style typical of that decade. It later received Grade II listed status, which places it under official protection as a building of architectural interest.
The cinema is known for showing independent and foreign films that rarely reach mainstream screens, drawing an audience that follows directors and cinematographies from around the world. The interior is modest and focused, with nothing to distract from the film itself.
The cinema sits on Curzon Street and is within walking distance of Green Park and Hyde Park Corner underground stations. The surrounding streets have paid parking options for those arriving by car.
When the cinema faced closure some years ago, filmmakers including Steven Spielberg and Tilda Swinton publicly campaigned for it to remain open. Their support drew attention to how much the venue matters to people working in and around the film industry.
