Everyman to establish three-screen cinema at ‘landmark’ Broadgate 1FA

Boutique cinema operator Everyman is coming to London’s Broadgate.

The company has signed a deal to launch a three-screen venue at the 1FA campus.

When it opens in 2019, the cinema will occupy 11,000 sq ft across the building’s ground and lower ground floors.

The deal with Everyman follows a raft of signings at Broadgate that included Italian marketplace Eataly, bar operator Inception Group and cybersecurity company Mimecast.

1FA is currently undergoing a refurb to create 247,000 sq ft of new offices and 42,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space. The project is due for completion next year.

Everyman chief exec Crispin Lilly said: “We think this amazing and innovative development in such an exciting part of London is a perfect fit for Everyman.

“We particularly like Broadgate’s focus on people and the experience, whether this is through its use of public squares and outdoor dining or its ambition to become a landmark retail destination.”

Crispin continued: “Everyman’s success is rooted in our absolute focus on the customer experience whether it is from our unique and welcoming bars, quality food and drink, or most importantly, our terrific venue teams.

“Everyman customers have high expectations and our ongoing challenge is to meet or exceed them. We believe our cinema will become a key part of the evolving social scene around 1FA.”

Claire Barber, head of Central London retail and Meadowhall at British Land, one of the companies behind Broadgate, commented: “Everyman is exactly the kind of brand that we’re looking to join us at Broadgate as we focus on the campus’ evolution into a vibrant, mixed use neighbourhood.

“Perfectly complementing the campus’ increasingly diverse selection of restaurants and bars, Everyman will be a major draw for visitors throughout the week and will provide another evening venue for our customers on campus.”
