Amenities and features

The independent Phoenix Cinema (once called the ''Rex'' and before that the ''Coliseum'') is located on the High Road, and regularly shows films with more individual appeal than is the case with the cinema chains. It is the oldest purpose-built cinema in the UK (the only older ones having started life as theatres). Time Out (company), the arts magazine, describes the ''Phoenix'' as the best single-screen cinema in London. Film critic Mark Kermode has written that the Phoenix Cinema "remains the single most significant cinema in my development as a bona fide cinema obsessive."Kermode, Mark.
