Prince Charles - or the problem of bikes and cinemas

There's a lot to complain about cinemas in London, not least the cost. You can count on setting aside at least a tenner to watch most films; even more in Leicester Square. The Prince Charles Cinema is an exception, packing us in at £1.50 - £4.50 for not-so-current films (think in-flight movie or DVD material). It's always a bit of a crush, and the floor downstairs is raked down not up - very odd.

But, even more than most cinemas, no room for the Brompton. The solution, if you don't leave it behind: the nearby NCR carpark by Trafalgar Square reputedly has a relatively safe cycle park, under the watchful eye of the security guard. Just watch out for the Sound of Music sing-along.
