Great option for a rainy day, catch a film in what was The Forum Theatre in 1930, designed by architect J. Stanley Beard. Interiors have been modernised, and the Compton organ is long gone, but a fave of ours nonetheless.

Getting around
The Tube, Overground, buses and Santander bikes are all moments from my West Brom apartment
Both the Tube and Overground lines stop at West Brompton Station. That means you’re tremendously well connected while staying at my West Brom apartment.
The District Line will take you south to Wimbledon from platform 1, stopping at Fulham Broadway first. From Platform 2, the District Line will take you to Edgeware Road/Paddington and as far east as Upminster making stops such as South Kensington (Museums), Victoria (change for Brixton), Westminster and Mansion House (St. Paul’s Cathedral).
The Overground will take you south to Clapham Junction from platform 3 and as far as Stratford Station from platform 4 with stops such as Shepherds Bush - perfect for shopping at Westfield Mall or Hampstead Heath Rail with access to the gloriously natural Hampstead Heath with swimming ponds, wild woodland and fantastic London views from Parliament Hill.
Of course there are many stops with connecting lines on both services, like Earls Court Station where you can swap to the Piccadilly Line which will take you west to the Heathrow Terminals or east to Piccadilly Circus, Holborn (British Museum) or King’s Cross St. Pancras.
