Latest 5 reviews of Coronet Cinema
It's really tricky to rate the Coronet. On the one hand, it's SUPER MEGA CHEAP if you go on a Tuesday: £3.50 all evening, regardless of your age, student status or choice of film. On the other hand, the quality of the surroundings ain't great. The seats are knackered and so low to the ground that you're sitting with your knees around your ears and nowhere to rest your head, plus the sound...more
Affordable lovely local theatre. Plus a special tuesday night deal with £3.50 tickets!
I was warned about the seating (thanks Vicky L!) but it wasn't that bad, especially since I ended up watching a really good movie, we were sat there for 2 hours and lost track of time!
The bathrooms are a bit smelly and awkward. I don't want to need so many road signs to get to the loo.

The coronet is a classic of notting hill gate. Now, it's not a modern multi-plex, so don't expect to have a comfy seat, surround sound or anything like that.
Pros:
- Very affordable (see other reviews)
- Beer and Winegums!
- As seen in the movie Notting Hill (girls love that fact)
- Balcony (just be careful not to leave your beer on the ledge and douse the people on the ground...more
I've been here twice and find the cinema charming and effective. Even at full price (£7.50) it's cheaper than most cinemas in town, and they offer matinee pricing before 6:30 (£4.50) and discounted £3.50 tickets for students on Monday and everyone on Tuesday. Sweet.
There are two screens- screen 1 is in the vintage theater with multiple levels and screen 2 is a standard setup.

I went there for the great price on tuesday, £3.50!
The theater is gorgeous but I didn't enjoy the movie because some lights were still on!
The lights at the door stay on throughout the movie, so you could see the whole room, and that's just a no no for me.
and the chairs not very comfortable.
So even for £3.50, I wouldn't go back because I prefer to have my cinema experience in the dark!more
