From the Wikipedia article
The Screen on the Green, also known as Everyman Screen On The Green, is a single-screen cinema facing Islington Green in the London Borough of Islington, London, England. The current building was opened in 1913 and it is one of the oldest continuously running cinemas in the UK. It is an example of the many purpose-built cinemas that followed the regulations set by the Cinematograph Act 1909. The idea of cinema was re-invented here by Romaine Hart in 1970 and it was seen as a model for new stylish cinemas in the UK. It became a venue for bands such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash, and a place to be seen in the 1970s and '80s. Hart sold the cinema in 2008, and it is now (as of 2025) run by Everyman Cinemas.

Background
History
The Pesaresi brothers ran their original animated picture show at 83 Upper Street. With finance from Thomas Harrold who ran the "fancy drapery" store next door at number 82, they bought out Stean's Printers, Fosdykes' Confectionery and Vivian Lester's Sign Writers, numbers 84 to 86 respectively. They demolished the old shops and built an electric theatre designed by architects Boreham & Gladding, which opened in October 1913.
Description
Renamed from The Empress Electric Theatre shortly after opening, the new cinema seated 600 on a single floor. It was originally considered very smart, though by the late 1930s it had become tatty and was compared unfavourably with the new picture palaces of the time.
Visiting
The cinema is referenced throughout Adam and the Ants' song "Fall In" – released as the B-side to "Antmusic" in 1980. This cinema also appeared in the 1981 music video "The Voice", by the musical group Ultravox.
