Curzon Mayfair, a historic cinema in London, is set to close permanently, paving the way for redevelopment into a new cinema managed by Fantasio. After withdrawing from legal disputes, Fantasio plans extensive renovations, including a £15 million investment to restore original features while enhancing modern audio and visual technology. The venue will remain a two-screen cinema, aiming to serve the local community creatively. Despite Curzon's claims of ongoing ticket sales growth, the landlord asserts that redevelopment is necessary for the site's future.
The Mayfair cinema will always have film at its heart - and will become a vibrant venue serving the wider community, creatively, socially, educationally and beyond.
Curzon has concluded that it had no option but to withdraw its legal challenge to the landlord's plans, given the risk of meeting the enormous legal costs.
We're disappointed it has taken so long but relieved it's over and that we can now progress,
