Cineroleum: cinema in a petrol station

Until six weeks ago, all that existed at 100 Clerkenwell Road, north London were the remains of an abandoned petrol station, a concrete lull on a busy road whose only inhabitants were nocturnal graffiti artists. Since then the space has been radically transformed by 16 young artists and designers into a pop-up cinema.

The aptly named Cineroleum shows classic films four nights a week and has been hand-built from donated and found materials. The screen was rescued from a skip outside the National Theatre and the chairs and main structure were built from cheap scrap-board that would otherwise be thrown away.
