London is experiencing an unexpected boom in new cinema opening, but a large corner of west London has been left oddly unserved. If you’re a west Londoner with a thirst for cinema-going, a Travelcard has often been your best friend.
Well, that’s all changing. Following on from the new Chiswick Cinema comes the Ealing Project, a box-fresh three-screen film house on Ealing Broadway that will officially opens today. We have some first-look pics, so you can take a tour below.

The programming philosophy promises a mix of blockbusters and indies – with ticket prices set at £6 throughout July.
The venue will also be hosting comedy clubs and live music, and promises a warm welcome for flexiworking laptop types, gig-goers and movie-lovers alike.

‘We can’t wait to open the doors to The Ealing Project,’ says Really Local Group founder Preston Benson, ‘breathing new life into a disused venue and bringing an exciting range of film and culture to the local community.’
‘The Ealing Project will be a fantastic addition to Ealing Broadway,’ says Andrew Rollings, centre director at Ealing Broadway, ‘with shoppers able to factor in a cinema trip, event, exhibition, or evening of live music to their visit to the centre.’
