SECOND VENUE

The Olympic Studios

​A legendary room, now on the big screen

​

Housed in the legendary Olympic Studios — where the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix cut some of their greatest records — The Olympic Studios is now one of London’s most characterful independent cinemas. Plush seating, a restored art deco interior, and a lively bar & dining room make it the ideal second stage for film screenings, author Q&As, and festival premieres.
