Curzon’s new flagship returns to Chelsea
The 20,000 sq ft venue will be part cinema, part studio, part cultural salon spanning art, film storytelling, content creation, podcasting and live performance.
Curzon Chelsea will reopen at The Gaumont on King’s Road in late 2026 as an entirely new kind of flagship. Not just a cinema, but a reimagining of what going to the cinema can feel like, designed to celebrate Chelsea’s cultural heritage and enhance its thriving creative scene. At the heart of Curzon Chelsea is an 300-seat auditorium, then there’s The Atrium, the café, bar and informal co-working space, which feels less like a stop along the way and more like a reason to stay.
For Chelsea, it feels like a homecoming with a spark. Curzon first opened here in 1983 and became a beloved fixture before closing in 2018. Its return signals something bigger than nostalgia. It points to a King’s Road that feels newly confident, where creativity is not just displayed but set loose.
