Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Arthouse Cinema Crouch End
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...'

They are both pretty small Philip (I had a peek in the other to see). I think I was in the larger one, but it's not as though one is standard cinema size and the other tiny - they are both much smaller than you'd get in most cinemas (bar the 10th screen in a big multiplex perhaps).
I don't want to do it down - it was a lovely place to see a film, I loved being able to take a drink in etc etc. But on the rare occasions I go to see a film I'd rather see it on a bigger screen.

Where is the bigger one? I've only been to the one at the back through the bar, which was fine as long as you didn't sit in the front row. It's a great place if you just want to drop in casually on your own for an afternoon showing - maybe less so if you wanted a special evening out. I think it's one of the best developments locally for ages, though. But I do wish that church on Ducketts Common would revert to being a rep cinema.

Great asset to the locality. I've been a few times - all good. No problem being too tall or too short - I'm five eleven and my wife is five two. They have a policy of paying staff more than the minimum wage so very happy to pay extra/support that. On top of all that I can walk there - great.
