Step back in time to the shadowy depths of 1920s London with a rare screening of Underground (1928), a beautifully restored silent film from the BFI archives.

Directed by Anthony Asquith, Underground is a masterful blend of romance, tension, and social observation, capturing the heartbeat of a city in transition. The story unfolds in a world of flickering lights, steam-filled platforms, and fleeting glances — all brought vividly to life with live piano accompaniment by Andrew Harrison-King.
