In photos: Brixton Ritzy workers take part in ‘largest ever cinema workers strike’

It was blooming freezing, but a hardy gang of Brixton Ritzy workers were steadfastly holding the line outside the cinema this afternoon.

The strike was part of what’s been described as “the largest cinema workers strike in UK history,” with workers from Hackney Picturehouse, Picturehouse Central and Crouch End Picturehouse joining the London-wide industrial action.

Here’s some photos from outside the Ritzy cinema in Windrush Square:
