Reviving the birthplace of British Cinema
Welcome to the Regent Street cinema project. A major campaign is being undertaken by the University to transform the birthplace of British cinema back into a multimedia facility and teaching space for our students and the wider community.
The refurbished space will provide a state of the art lecture theatre, intellectual salon and event space for students and the community, that will significantly increase our profile in the West End.The project forms part of our commitment to a vibrant student experience and inspirational learning environment.
