Screen on the green

The Rio

The Art Deco exterior of the Rio appeals to hip Dalstonites.

Everyman Hampstead

The plush bar has plenty of space to spread out and make Bafta bets and an impressive wine selection.

The Ritzy

In summer you’ll have to put your name on a waiting list to get a table on bustling Windrush Square. In winter, crawl inside this cosy wooden-floored bar.

Electric

This is where the crème de la crème of west London watch their flicks: grab a cocktail in the bar and wait for the well-heeled crowds to pour out.

Screen on the Green

An Islington institution. The bar is inside the screening room, so you don’t have far to stumble if 12 Years a Slave is proving thirsty work.
