Cinemas in London
If you're a film addict then you'll be pleased to hear that you won't struggle to find cinemas in London. The capital is packed with great places to view films, from converted theatres to state of the art viewing experiences.
Cinema listings are readily available from the likes of Time Out magazine and London's various newspapers (from the London Evening Standard to the free papers available in the suburbs).
You'll find that there's a great range of screens available, with the London IMAX Cinema boasting the largest screen in the UK - it's more than 20 metres high!. The IMAX is located at 1 Charlie Chaplin Walk, London SE1 8XR.
Elsewhere, Leicester Square is often seen as the centre for cinema, not just in London but in the UK as a whole. Hosting numerous UK film premieres, the Leicester Square cinemas are always popular.
The Electric Cinema on Portobello Road is one of a growing number that now offer luxurious extras, including footstools and tables for your food and drink. If you're willing to pay a little extra then you'll find that plenty of cinemas do offer such extras to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible.
The Odeon Theatre at Bugsby Way, London SE10 0QJ boasts some 18 screens, one of an ever-growing number of large multiplexes in the capital.
The oldest cinema in London is the Phoenix - indeed, it's believed that this is the oldest purpose built cinema in the UK. Built in 1910, patrons include established actors and actresses such as Michael Palin, Victoria Wood and Maureen Lipman. Definitely worth a visit if you fancy stepping back in time.
