Some Like It Central: The Uneven Geography of Cinemas

This study investigates the spatial structure, clustering patterns, and socio-economic contexts of multiplex, independent, and specialised cinemas in Greater London. Firstly, we highlight the distinct urban positioning and clustering intensities for each category. Secondly, we analyse the socio- economic context of each cinema category using 15-minute transit isochrones, revealing how local characteristics are associated with the cinema landscape.
