Jonathan King: “Love the atsmosphere at the Gate Cinema, in Notting Hill”

It looks like a proper old-fashioned theatre, and that’s why I like it. Jonathan King speaks about his passion for the Notting Hill Gate cinema

Gate Cinema,  Notting Hill

Jonathan King: “I have two favourite cinemas, both of them in London. For convenience, there’s the 8-screen UCI in the Whiteley’s Centre in Bayswater – London’s first multiplex, in fact. And in this shopping centre is a brilliant modern cinema that shows virtually every new release.
