The Rex Cinema, Berkhampstead


The Rex Cinema in Berkhampstead is only twenty minutes away, but Monday was my first visit. The story of it's restoration is all on http://therexberkhamsted.com. It has one screen, with tables downstairs and wide plush seats in the circle that have enormous leg room. The only downside is that you do feel somewhat distant from the screen. Otherwise it was a great experience.


The old main entrance facing the High Street is now part of the restaurant. There was originally a large dining room behind, so it seems sensible that this was maintained. The new cinema entrance is at the side, and a specially built projection room was added.
