The old cinema site on Bromley High Street is set to be revived.

Picturehouse is transforming the original movie house, which dates back to 1936, into a brand new cinema including both original and modern features.

The cinema was previously a Cineworld which closed its doors in March last year.

The Picturehouse will have six screens, a café and bar, and be given a classic art deco look with modern touches.

Clare Binns, joint managing directer, said: "The reason we often choose to move into unique, historical (and challenging) sites is because of the naturally inviting atmosphere and character that's in the fabric of these buidings.

"Bromley is set to be one of our most beautiful and romantic projects yet - it'll be a true cathedral of cinema.

"Our primary focus with this refurbishment is to pay testament to the beautiful building that we're fortunate enough to be in."

The cinema also offers a Happy Monday deal on tickets.

The national promotion means all tickets costs £7.50 across the board, and if you are a Picturehouse member tickets are even cheaper at £5.50 each.

Bromley Picturehouse is set to open in Spring this year and will be the second cinema to open in Bromley.

Part of the Bromley South Central scheme, the venue sports reclining seats, a bar, exclusive Avalanche ice-cream and Coca-Cola Freestyle which lets viewers customise their own drinks.

Dan Surridge, general manager, said: “Bromley is a vivacious town and we’re delighted to be opening in St Mark’s Square.

"We can’t wait to welcome customers to experience the very best in big screen entertainment with us.”

Movies are not the only thing entertaining at the Vue Cinema, it will also host regular big screen events including music performances, sport, opera, dance and theatre.

Cinema tickets start at £7.99 each.
