BFI Southbank

BFI Southbank is a film center on the South Bank that operates four cinema screens showing different kinds of films. The screens present international features, documentaries, and experimental works throughout the year.

The center was founded after World War II to support film art and cinema education in Britain. It grew into a leading place for serious film culture in London.

Film lovers from across the city gather here to watch works you won't find in other cinemas. The spaces have become a meeting place for people who take cinema seriously as an art form.

The center sits right along the Thames and is easy to reach on foot or by underground train. Access to the cinemas and areas is accessible, and visitors find cafes and restrooms on site.

A special collection of digitized films and television programs from national archives can be explored for free. These archives hold rare and hard-to-find works you cannot see elsewhere.
