What is a pillow cinema? It’s our former tube station filled with bean bags, of course. Described as a “tribute to cuddly film watching on a grand scale” and the “cosiest cinema experience this side of a fluffy cloud”, guests will be able to book supersize Fatboy beanbags to lounge on in front of a big screen set up at the former Shoreditch underground station. The programme includes films such as Amelie, The Grand Budapest Hotel and Boyhood plus triple bills on Saturdays including three of the best Bill Murray / Wes Anderson collaborations and an homage to Ryan Gosling.Staff will apparently be enforcing a strict “no pillow, no entry” policy, which seems to suggest that guests will be responsible for providing the pillow element of the pillow cinema experience.
