Just been to the Arthouse Cinema in Crouch End. very pleasant place. Easy booking online(its tiny!) All seats good. Despite warnings on the website you do NOT need to be over 5'5" to use some of the upper tier seats. I'm only 5'3" and could see the screen no prob. Likewise the stalls are not too near the screen. At £11(no concessions) its not really much more than the Odeon and with the audience demoraphic you can be fairly sure of no yapping and mobiles going off. The ads and trailers are also quite gentle and the sound quality is good. Saw Leviathan, but as Ed Milibean might say 'I'll leave comment on that to others...'

And you're not ? Do you eat popcorn during the film ?
On my visits, the audience has been fairly "senior" - perhaps that's what the OP meant rather than class? Also the programming doesn't seem to attract popcorn-throwing, non-stop chatting teenagers, so that's a result too.
I was yesterday for first time and I found the experince much more pleasant than Odeon or one of those for couple of quid more . The audience was very mixed including some tenagers and still was quiet. Sound was good, I'll definitelly go back.
We went to see Turner at this cinema a couple of weeks ago & won't be going back anytime soon. The soundproofing is substandard, the seats small & uncomfortable & the audience primarily haughty. Avoid
I like the Arthouse but at 5" 10" I find it very uncomfortable. This is unfortunate as I like their range of films and the fact that they show good films for more than one week. If only there was more leg room and better seats, I would go there more frequently.
I have been two or three times and quite liked it. There are two screens. In one of them the layout is fairly normal but in the other, I felt that the screen was much too wide for the depth of the room. Even though we were sitting in the back row it was uncomfortably close. I wouldn't have wanted to be in the front row in that room.
It is a bit unusual to make one's way through a bar (in which quiz night may be scheduled for later) to get tickets and to reach the films but it is a welcoming place and, overall, I though that it was a good way of making effective use of what must have become an underused resource. It is a nice old building in a convenient position.
I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary among the clientele. For some people, it may have become their local.
It's just been voted Best London Cinema 2014 in Time Out.
It's nice but (whisper) ... but the screen is just far too small. I'd only go and see certain sorts of films there.
And never ever sit in the front row - you'll ruin your neck.
