ABOUT US 

A hub of entertainment, with cinema at its heart, set in iconic locations. 

At heart, cinema comes first—creating spaces that deliver films exactly as the creators intended, with an atmosphere that enhances, never overshadows, the experience. Across all our locations, we celebrate the storied heritage of the buildings we call home, seamlessly blending history with the contemporary moment. 

THE OLYMPIC, Barnes 

A cinema that was once a recording studio, then a cinema again, and is soon to be a recording studio once more. Also home to a Members’ Club and Bar & Bistro. 

Our flagship has a rich and storied history, with many iterations over the years, but always remaining a place to enjoy entertainment. As custodians of this iconic building, we continue to honour its legacy while shaping its future as a hub of entertainment. 

The Olympic in Barnes has a three-screen cinema, a members’ club, further members-only spaces, a Bar & Bistro, an outdoor terrace, and, re-opening in 2025, the music recording studio.
