The 30 Best Cinema event screenings in London

“Trip back in time but with modern sound and projection systems. There are plenty of seating options, some with tables. Great prices and customers even took their rubbish with them. The only improvement I could add would be uniforms for the ushers and gold paint for radiators. A truly fabulous experience.”

“we soaked up the charm of the Odyssey Cinema – a true Art Deco treasure in the heart of the city. Stepping into this beautifully restored venue felt like stepping back in time, with its vintage décor and cosy atmosphere adding to the magic of the experience. We had the pleasure of watching Home Alone, the ultimate festive film, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The comfortable seating and intimate setting created a warm and inviting vibe, ideal for a relaxed evening out. What sets the Odyssey apart is its attention to detail – from the friendly, welcoming staff to the carefully curated film selection that offers something for everyone. It’s a cinema experience like no other, combining nostalgia and modern comfort in the best way possible. Whether you’re a film buff or simply looking for a unique night out, the Odyssey Cinema is a must-visit. It’s a place where great films, rich history, and a touch of glamour come together to create unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to return!”

“Recently had a screening at Close-up. Jake and the team took great care of us and we had a wonderful day there. Booking process and communication was clear and quick. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a great cinema.”

“Amazing gem, really can't find enough fantastic words to say about the place, the people and my experience! The entrance is actually next to the building and up some stairs, the grocery store under was very helpful in directing me. Super welcoming bar/restaurant atmosphere, with smiling, friendly staff to take care of you. Plenty of food and drink options, including half and half salty/sweet popcorn. The music while waiting was a fabulous selection as well. The theater itself is small and comfortable, great sound and picture quality. But even better than all that was their advertising of local businesses and the fact that they provide a day for people with dementia to enjoy as well. Truly touched my heart.”

“Beautiful cinema, very classic and comfortable seating options… and the bar is in the room!”

“I love this cinema. The staff are so friendly and accommodating! Nothing is too much trouble for them. They even offered store my mother's electric wheelchair in the staff room and I have made friends who have been able to safely store valuables too. The staff make it a very warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels very safe. There are rules but they are for the safety and enjoyment of others. I had a great experience at the wicked sing a long as they turned it into an interactive experience too. I love going to the occasional marathon and think it's great that they send someone out for security during the breaks or even if my friend wants a cigarette break during the film and lock the doors during the films. It attracts a lot of friendly people and I have made good friends there that I now go with to other films and marathon. Even strangers offer to help my mother up and down the stairs and try and buy her drinks and snacks from the bar so she is comfortable. I fully recommend.”

“Last Friday went to see the new Deadpool film at Pinewood Cinema. Cinema was inside Pinewood studios so was pretty cool to walk through it. Cinema sat about 100 and was fantastic. Big and comfortable seats with lots of legroom. Cinema was clean. Was a shop selling food & drink.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Phenomenal Service from Regwan, Joao, and Kate! I have to give a special shout-out to three employees who made my visit to see the Chainsaw Man movie nothing short of exceptional. Regwan, Joao, and Kate were at the front desk, and every single interaction I had with them was outstanding. They provided truly amazing, excellent customer service. Beyond just being incredibly efficient, they all had such a wonderfully positive and welcoming attitude. It is so rare to encounter service this phenomenal. This team is an absolute asset to your theater, and I hope their management knows what gems they have. Thank you, Regwan, Joao, and Kate, for making my visit perfect!”

“It's nice that Croydon has this cinema. It's a real asset for a town centre that is being decimated at every turn. It's unique in that it's tucked away, even though it's in the very centre, just by the Town Hall. With just 65 seats, it's very independent-minded, with a screening more or less daily. The staff really want to assist. I shall definitely return.”

“Hip crowd, great movie selection, cool respite when the weather's hot, great selection of bars, restaurants and outdoor terraces to socialise beforehand, very LGBTQ friendly”

“Great, intimate cinema with a very helpful team! Thank you for letting me hire your space for a private screening!”

“This is how I remember cinemas! Staff were amazing and very friendly. Definitely take the time to visit this place, even just for a snack or drink (or view the wall of VHS's) . Hopefully this place will get some investment and go on for years to come as its a hidden gem”

“Fantastic venue. I went for a private DJ book signing and Q&A with audience. Free flowing champagne throughout the evening. Nice decor and surroundings with complementing lighting for atmosphere in the bar area. Comfortable seating in the theatre space.”

“Luxurious seating, helpful staff and screens that straddle cosy and the epic. Definitely worth a visit”

“Came here for a premiere. The cinema is delightful and feels like a classic old school movie house. I might not go back for a long time simply due to distance, but I'd sure like to...”

“I went to a wedding anniversary it's a nice little hall and there is ample parking depending on how many guests you hàve self catering if you wish the car park at the rear was something I thought was important as park8ng can be a problem in some places”

“This cinema is absolutely amazing! Although a little expensive, I would most certainly say that it's worth the money! The reclining seats feel absolutely luxurious, and if you're lucky to have even just your row to yourself, you do genuinely feel like you're being treated like royalty!”

“Very nice place for students and cinema experience”

“Brilliant experience. Loved the Nachos lol. Came here to watch Jurassic World Rebirth with a friend and had a great time. It was quite loud sometimes but I don’t mind as long as the audio was normal for the most part (it was). The atmosphere was great, I’m definitely gonna come back some time soon.”

“Good cinema, always well staffed, clean, and often surprisingly quiet. Shows all the latest releases and some re-releases too. Tickets can be pretty cheap also.”

“We came here to watch Weapon and were late due to the train strikes. The staff were very understanding and accommodating, particularly Gorge who was very helpful and had great customer service. The snacks were also quickly served so I managed to make it back to the screen without missing the beginning of the movie. Excellent experience, would come here again for sure.”

“Great cinema, came to watch avatar 2, seat was comfortable for a long watch but the seats are quite close together so the person behind kept kicking my chair which was frustrating. Drinks and popcorn was nice, sound and visuals were great too on the big screen”

“Had a lovely morning, this morning visiting the cinema for the first time with my daughter. She loved watching the Bluey let's cook collection. Featuring amazing recliner chairs across all screens, sleek modern decor, plus amazing staff special thanks to Chloe always so lovely and helpful.”

“Vue Cinema London delivered a solid overall experience when I went yesterday to watch Dhurandhar. Booking was straightforward, and getting in was quick with clear signage and staff on hand if needed. The screen and sound were strong throughout the film, and the picture quality stayed sharp with good brightness and contrast, which made the action and atmosphere land well. The seating was comfortable enough for a full feature, and the auditorium felt well maintained. It did get a bit busy around showtime, so there was the usual pre-film rush at concessions, but it moved reasonably fast. Cleanliness was generally good, including the seating area and common spaces. Overall, a reliable choice for a night at the movies in London—good presentation, smooth entry, and a comfortable watch. I’d happily return, especially for big releases where sound and screen quality really matter.”

“Very comfy cinema. Small refreshments area.”

“Positive experience throughout and very professional.”

“Great screens, sound and public areas, but I only go if they are showing something I can’t use my Cineworld card for as a ticket costs nearly as much as my entire month’s subscription (yes I know Cineworld may be no more very soon). If they offered and unlimited card, I would be there all the time.”

“The delivery of the popcorn is very fast and the staff is always friendly and helpful”

“5 stars all round. Great evening and great hosts. Would highly recommend GoCinemas to anyone!”
