Our Story

In 1911 the Picture House Cinema opened at 165 Tottenham Lane and around 1925 it was renamed Perfect Picture House. In 1929 the building was refurbished, Western Electric sound equipment was installed and the cinema reopened as the Plaza Cinema. Closed at the outbreak of war, the Plaza was badly damaged in an air raid and demolished soon after. Rosebery House was built on the site in the late 1950s; this is the building which forms the basis of Crouch End Picturehouse. It's the only surviving example of 1950s–60s Modernism in the area, and for this reason aspects of the Modernist ethos have been incorporated into the refurbishment by award-winning architects Panter Hudspith.

Clubs & Groups

Relaxed Screenings

Relaxed screenings are specially designed to make cinema-going easier and more accessible to those who may need additional support when they visit. These screenings are ideal for neurodivergent audiences of all ages, those living with dementia, and their families, friends, and carers, but all are welcome.

Relaxed screenings will show films without adverts or trailers. Lights are left on low, the volume is reduced, and the audience is free to move around and take breaks from the screen whenever needed.

We typically show:        
A family-friendly film every third Sunday of the month
A classic film every last Friday of the month (with interval)

Whilst we do our best to ensure these screenings happen consistently, please note that on occasion the regular slot may change. Make sure to check local listings ahead of your screening.
