About Curzon Richmond

Curzon Richmond is an independent, single-screen cinema tucked away on Water Lane in the heart of Richmond, offering a carefully curated programme of art house and independent films. A world away from the multiplex experience, it combines comfortable seating with an onsite bar and restaurant, creating a genuinely civilised setting for an evening out. Serving film lovers who value thoughtful programming over blockbuster spectacle, it has earned a strong local following — reflected in its 4.4-star rating from over 300 visitors — and sits naturally within Richmond’s tradition of quality independent venues.

Local area

Richmond has long cultivated a confident, community-spirited identity, and Curzon Richmond sits comfortably within that character. Water Lane places it close to the river and the town centre’s independent shops and restaurants, making it an easy addition to a broader evening in Richmond. In a borough that values quality over scale and independent spirit over chain uniformity, a single-screen art house cinema feels entirely at home — offering residents the kind of cultural amenity that helps Richmond feel genuinely self-sufficient rather than reliant on central London.

Why choose Curzon Richmond

For residents who find large multiplexes impersonal and overcrowded, Curzon Richmond offers a genuinely different proposition. The single-screen format means programming is selective and considered, rather than driven purely by commercial demand. The presence of a bar and restaurant means an evening here can be unhurried and sociable rather than purely transactional. Its Water Lane address is easily reachable on foot from Richmond station, which is served by the District line, South Western Railway and London Overground — making it accessible without any need to venture into central London.
