More Than Two Decades of Premiere Coverage

London film premieres are part of the foundation of MarkMeets. Our team has worked on the red carpet and in press areas, interviewing talent and producing coverage for websites, newspapers, magazines, radio and television.

This archive preserves part of that history, from Leicester Square launches to smaller screenings and festival events. Explore our red-carpet news and film-premiere coverage for related articles.

Historical entries reflect the information recorded at the time. A name in an original guest announcement does not necessarily establish attendance unless the entry records that the person attended. Past ticket, accreditation and fan-access arrangements should not be applied to a new event.
