Fulham is Victorian terraces on narrow plots. Many have a cellar under the front or a void beneath the floor. A cinema in that space is a snug of a few seats. It tucks in beside the stairs.
Hammersmith and Fulham allows one storey under Policy DC11. Into the garden, it may reach half the house’s depth at most. Over 60% of the borough lies in flood zones 2 and 3. So a flood risk assessment comes before the cinema layout.
Terraces share their walls, so the cinema is a party wall job. We build the room inside the old brick, on its own base. A light well can bring daylight to the stairs while the cinema stays black. Blackout blinds and quiet vents finish the room.
Our studio is in Fulham. We have built basements across the area. One is a media room with dark joinery, a long fire and cove lighting. One team designs, prices and builds each room.
What the council allows in Fulham.
- Council
- London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Kensington and Chelsea’s CD11 does not apply here.
- Size
- Local Plan Policy DC11 allows one storey. Into the garden, it may reach half the house’s depth at most. It may also cover half the garden’s depth at most.
- Lightwells
- A lightwell at the front or side must be as discreet as possible. The terrace should look largely unchanged.
- Flood risk
- Over 60% of the borough is in flood zones 2 and 3. The Thames defences protect it, but a flood risk assessment is still needed.

Can a Fulham terrace cellar become a home cinema?
Often, if the floor can be lowered and waterproofed.
We survey the cellar before we promise a height.
Does a Fulham cinema room need a party wall notice?
Usually, as terraces share their walls.
We prepare the notices and the surveys.
What does a Fulham basement cinema cost?
Our basement band is £450 to £780 a sq ft, construction only.
Groundwater, party walls and access move the figure.
Is flood risk a problem for a Fulham basement cinema?
It is designed in from the start, because much of the area is low.
A flood risk assessment is needed with any application.
How big is a typical Fulham basement cinema snug?
It varies with the house, but most are intimate rooms.
A few deep seats and a wide screen work well.
