HISTORY
Regent Street Cinema is where UK cinema began. In 1896 the Lumière brothers debuted their Cinématographe machine for a paying audience. They didn’t know it then, but that night, an industry was born and Regent Street Cinema became a landmark venue for the UK film industry: the birthplace of British cinema, if you will.
That spirit of innovation and creativity stuck with us, too. From early demonstrations of the famous Pepper’s Ghost illusion through to 14 years of continuous screenings of Alfred West’s Our Navy and Our Arm films and even screening the first ever film to be awarded the notorious ‘X’ certificate, Regent Street Cinema has always been right at the forefront of the cultural conversation.
Between 1980 and 2012, the cinema was closed to the public and used as a lecture hall and function venue. In 2015 with support from the University of Westminster and funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Quentin Hogg Trust, the Garfield Weston Foundations and many other sponsors, Regent Street Cinema was restored and reopened to the public in 2015.
Today, we continue to honour Regent Street’s special history of culture, community, and creativity.
