W Hotel Soho adds Wes Anderson screenings from £10
W hotel Soho has turned wes anderson into a small-scale London ticket play. The venue is staging four screenings and a May 13 discussion tied to the Design Museum’s Wes Anderson: The Archives, giving visitors a low-cost route into an exhibition-led event calendar.
May 9 to 30 at 7pm
The screening run starts with The Grand Budapest Hotel on Saturday May 9, followed by Fantastic Mr. Fox on 16th May, Moonrise Kingdom on 23rd May and The Darjeeling Limited on 30th May. Every show begins at 7pm, and the basic ticket with popcorn is £10.
A ticket with a cocktail is £19. The hotel is also selling four cocktails inspired by characters from the Wes Anderson cinematic universe: The Bellboy, The Prison Guard, The Fixer and The Detective. For a venue with a 38-seater primary screening room and a screen estimated at three metres across, the offer is built for limited capacity rather than mass attendance.
Annie Atkins on May 13
Annie Atkins and Johanna Agerman Ross will take part in a live discussion on May 13. Atkins is a graphic designer and regular Wes Anderson collaborator, while Agerman Ross is the Design Museum’s chief curator. The £25 ticket for that night includes entry to the discussion, access to the exhibition, one of the hotel’s screening nights and one themed cocktail.
That bundle is the sharpest signal in the programme. A single ticket folds together the museum show, a hotel screening and a drink, which is a neater sell than treating each piece as a separate outing. People do not have to be staying at the hotel to book, so the event is aimed at Londoners as much as overnight guests.
Design Museum until July 26
The timing also lines up with the Design Museum’s exhibition, which has been running since November 2025 and continues until July 26. The hotel is using that window to push a themed stay as well, with Wes Anderson-inspired amenities, a Polaroid camera and a themed city guide priced at £698 per night or more with a 2-night minimum stay.
For most visitors, the better value is obvious: £10 gets a screening, £19 adds a cocktail, and £25 buys the May 13 discussion plus access to the museum show and a themed drink. The only real constraint is space, and in a 38-seat room that means anyone interested in the run should book before the weekend screenings fill the schedule.
