Lumière is named after the famous Lumière Brothers, Auguste and Louis, whose film La Sortie des usines Lumière à Lyon was the first film ever screened to the public with paid admission. The rest, as they say, is history – a history respected and paid tribute to, in small part, by the Lumière Lounge. That’s why whenever you visit Lumière, you’ll see a silent film flickering on the screen, in tribute to our name and to The Strand’s origins as a movie palace.
