Instituto Cervantes

Instituto Cervantes London is the UK home of the official body created by the Spanish government to teach Spanish and promote the cultures of Spain and the wider Spanish-speaking world. Alongside its language classes and library, it runs a busy cultural programme spanning literature, music, the visual and performing arts, and film from Spain and Latin America. Screenings here are a window onto Spanish-language cinema that rarely reaches UK screens, frequently paired with talks, tertulias, and Q&As with the film-makers and actors involved.

The programme regularly includes festivals and seasons celebrating Spanish and Latin American cinema, from new releases to regional and classic work. Tucked away on Devereux Court just off the Strand near Temple, it is an intimate spot for discovering these films, with screenings often woven into a broader evening of cultural conversation.
