About The Cinema Haymarket

The Cinema Haymarket sits at the heart of London's West End, a Grade II listed building with a storied past. Originally the Carlton Theatre, it opened in 1927 and later became a multi-screen cinema known as the Classic Haymarket, Cannon, MGM, Virgin, UGC, Cineworld Haymarket, and Empire Haymarket. Although closed in May 2023 for interior redevelopment, the façade remains a landmark on Haymarket.
