Youyou ! Je suis la Première à poser un avis en Français sur l'un des plus anciens cinémas de Londres, si ce n'est le plus ancien...

Situé sur Portobello Road, je dois vous dire que c'est mon quartier quand je vais à Londres, quand je vis un mois par an à Londres. Mon frère habite à cinq minutes et c'est lui qui m'a fait découvrir le lieu, il y a des années !

There is a bar at the back that will sell you ridiculously...more

Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to be a patron of the cinema, therefor this review is only for the restaurant.

Reservations are a must as this small(er) restaurant becomes jam-packed with elites and scenesters.

I was told they serve the best-burger in the world -I was properly informed. Served on a wooden slab, my burger was phenomenal.

One star off for the waitstaff not paying...more
