Ahead of its permanent three-screen local arrival in 2017, upmarket cinema group Everyman is ushering in a bespoke-designed, 32-seater picturehouse in King’s Cross.
It’ll be located on the corner near Lewis Cubitt Square and park, on the ground floor of the Plimsoll Building. And this super hot-potato pop-up will be around for just 16 months.
Showing up to three films a day, punters will be able to kick back and watch the movies on typically comfy seating, and there’ll (of course) be a stylish bar serving cocktails, craft beer and wine. And the whole joint will be managed by the undoubtedly competent team from Screen on the Green, the group’s sister site in nearby Islington.
So, more importantly, what’s showing initially? Well, the opening programme will include a diverse range of flicks, including Roald Dahl’s The BFG, Absolutely Fabulous, classics such as The Ladykillers (filmed nearby) and The Neon Demon, the new Nicholas Winding Reffin film about the fashion industry, starring Elle Fanning.

All in all, another convincing reason to make haste along the canal. Don’t forget to have a pint at the new waterside Lighterman en route – or afterwards.
