About

Portobello Pop Up Cinema is a non-profit Microplex cinema and community arts venue situated under the Westway flyover on the Portobello Road / Acklam Road junction. Apparently this area is, by some, considered to be the spiritual home of The Clash. Britpop legends Blur have affectionately referred to it in their lyrics. But that’s not all: It is within spitting distance of Brett Anderson’s gaff, and Jarvis Cocker has been spotted walking his dog just up the road.

In fact, it is popularly believed that the cinema site is built on sacred ground, and radiates a powerful vortex of creative energy. Locally, it is assumed to be the final resting place of King Arthur.

And for all this history, admission is still only £4.

We are supported by: The Esmee Fairbain Foundation, The Craignish Trust, The Brian Guinness Family Trust, Hattie Edmonds, James Static, Danny the Ape and The Westway Development Trust.

We welcome ideas for screenings from artists, filmmakers, N.G.O’s and voluntary groups. To contact us, CLICK HERE
