Lonely Planet review

Spring 2007 gave London's cinema lovers a wonderful pressie: the British Film Institute. The spruced-up and extended former NFT includes the Mediatheque (a room with 14 state of the art viewing booths where visitors can browse for free the hundreds of hours of film and TV from the BFI archive), a gallery space with film-related shows, a well-stocked film and bookshop, a restaurant and a gorgeous café with free wifi access and a stand-up piano.

BFI South Bank also offers new releases and golden oldies dusted off for retrospectives, directors' exclusive talks and an unrivalled screening programme.
