In an era of movie reboots, the grand old Whiteley building in Bayswater is getting a big-budget legacy sequel of its own.

A new Everyman Cinema has been in the pipeline for the Grade II-listed building since 2023 – and Time Out can exclusively reveal that it’s opening this summer, with five screens and a total of 332 seats. 

Expect all the usual trappings of Everyman’s ‘chic cinema’ offering: comfy sofas, fancy food and cocktails for miles.

All five screening rooms will be kitted out with state-of-the-art 4K projection and Dolby Atmos sound.

Everyman at The Whiteley will also boast two bars (pictured), serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. 

Nostalgic moviegoers who remember the old UCI Whiteleys from the 1990s, or even the Odeon after 2006, are promised a familiar experience heading to the new cinema, which will occupy the ground, basement and lower basement floors of the newly restored landmark building.

Everyman at The Whiteley, the luxe cinema chain’s 49th UK venue, follows its 2024 London opening in Stratford.

As usual, there are founder memberships available. SIgn up and receive a year’s worth of free popcorn and a special membership card.
