I've been here twice now (both times to see Avatar) and while the process to get tickets was pretty easy (you can also preorder popcorn/snacks) I found the actual theatre to be a little lacking. The seats are so uncomfortable, even the premium ones. And for a three hour movie, seats are important. The popcorn was good, nothing crazy. It's just salted not any butter which I thought was too bad but maybe that's just how it is in the UK. On top of that, the seat rows are really hard to see in the dark. I wish they were somehow illuminated because a lot of people were stumbling around trying to find their row. Otherwise it was fine, I obviously went more than once so it wasn't terrible but could be better. read more

See all

Really shit found hair in my popcorn and a finger nail the toilet were disgusting rude the was blood on a sick

The Odeon in Greenwich is a great cinema. Built in a retail Park just off the A2 there is masses of parking spaces. The auditoriums are large so they rarely run out of tickets. There are numerous large screens and the food counter sells all the usual snacks such as hot dogs, popcorn and nachos. I'm a big eater so including entry I can easily spend £10-£15, even with a student discount. The gallery is definitely worth trying out. You get a private lounge and bar at your disposal with as many snacks and drinks as you can eat. The seats are over-sized comfy chairs that are great to lounge in. The gallery costs more money though. The Greenwich Odeon is a great cinema to watch blockbuster movies in but it is expensive. read more

Odeon Cinema - Cinema Near Me - London, XGL

I don't like going here. Once your in your seat and the film is about to begin then it's fine. The screens and auditoriums are large and plentiful so you probably won't miss out on a seat even if you going to see a popular film. Also, their seats are getting better as they now seem larger and more padded. So, once your in your seat, it's fine. What I hate is everything that comes before getting to my seat. The place is always busy, largely with the ASBO youth congregating in the large entrance hall either just hanging around or playing the arcade machines - thoroughly irritating noises those things make when coupled with the youthful vocal exuberance. None of this is as loud as the crap music the ODEON insist on blaring out which reverberates around the building. Apart from that there are the ticket machines that appear to hate me. Once I've queued, selected my film and paid for my tickets the machine actually quick-fire spits them down on to the floor. Is it too much to ask for a ledge to collect printed tickets instead of scurrying around the floor trying to retrieve them all? One time I even received a dirty look from a spotty youth (this one did work there however) because I'd brought my bag of sweets to the wrong counter to pay for them. I wouldn't have been there in the first place had I not been waiting for several minutes at the actual sweet buying counter which, apparently, is for display purposes only. A small queue forming behind me but no-one to serve us. Rubbish. My explanation of this to the spotty youth fell on deaf ears. Kids, they don't listen. There is a massive car park outside which can be handy - I don't drive though. Compared to the other irritating chain, VUE cinemas, I believe that ODEONs' tickets cost a fraction more but their sweets and stuff cost a fraction less. bye-bye, Ian read more

Very busy!! On the weekend. Always book online FIRST!!! I made a BIG mistake the last time I went there. But if your film is sold out..! Book for the next showing and going to any restaurant near by... read more

It's rare I come here (I much prefer Greenwich Picturehouse up the road), but as flick houses go, this one is pretty good. Don't expect a fancy experience, or anything special. Instead expect a good choice of films and overpriced sweeties. The screens are massive and a ticket will set you back about a tenner. I'm lucky enough to be sandwiched inbetween this cinema and the nicer one in Greenwich. I just see what's on at both and make my choice that way. But I do like that they have classic film days, that's always fun. Classic film days are fun. Think they do screenings for the hearing impaired as well. Location with this one plays a part, you're ten minutes walk from North Greenwich tube but also on a little strip of restaurants, so you'll have somewhere to eat when you're done. Even if it is just Nando's. read more

I've been here a few times and everytime enjoyed myself. The seats are comfy and you also get service to your chair for wine and other drink and food over to you while the films on so you don't miss anything. Plus you can have nachos for free and other stuff but that is up in the area at the top of the screen so you pay a little extra but sometimes worth it if its a new film or a long film. read more

Where I live there is no cinemas for miles so I have a few to choose from in several directions but I always come back to this one. Its a small cinema surrounded by bars, restaurants and boutique type shops, which means that you can make the evening longer by going for a meal, or having a drink with a friend before going into the film. The screens are quite small which I like as it doesn't get too noisy, I usually book in advance and pick up the tickets from the machine, however the last on both of my last two trips the machine was broken and I had to queue! There is plenty of choice when it comes to cinema snacks (same as all odeons I would imagine) - personally its ben and jerrys for me everytime! The last time I was here, the toilets were pretty disgusting (this is the only time I have found this so Im hoping it will be better the nice time I go!) read more

When you're a regular visitor to some of London's nicest cinemas (Curzons, Picturehouses), you forget how bad an Odeon can be. Well, one visit to the Odeon Greenwich and it all comes flooding back... The good things first - the screens are big. There's free parking. And they sell Ben and Jerry's icecream. But that's it. We went there last night and it wasn't fun. When we arrived, we had to wait 10 minutes just to collect our pre-paid tickets from the ticket machine. Then we had to queue around the whole foyer for 20 minutes before we were allowed to get into the screening room. We were finally allowed to take our seats at 9.40, for a 9.30 screening. They had too many films starting at the same time and just couldn't handle the demand. Because they couldn't keep up with the turnover, the cinema was dirty with popcorn everywhere. On top of this, it cost us £19 for two tickets. Want popcorn and drinks too and you need to add at least another £10. Disappointing. read more

It is the future of cinema. HUGE screens, lovely seats and the sound was amazing Like all cinemas in the UK, don't get food and drink from the shop (unless you want to spend more than your cinema ticket for a drink and sweets) Go to the Sainsburys next door read more

This is my favourite cinema, and i try to venture here with the misses at least once a month. We usually go for the gallery seating as then you get the leather seating and a licensed bar. the cinema itself is always clean and well organised. Its not very often that it gets too busy as it is a very big cinema, there is a massive car park and never had a problem parking, but not always that close to the entrance. there are quite a few choices of restaurant to eat in before the cinema which is a added bonus, and we usually go for Zizzi. Compared to the other cinemas within the area this has to be one of the best! read more

Fairly standard multiplex. Nice seats and offer an upgraded service if you want to spend date night there (nicer seats, unlimited soft drinks, popcorn and nachos). Food wise it's pretty standard though I do prefer Odeon nachos over Cineworld and Vue! My only bug bear is it advertises it has an IMAX screen, but it's the low end IMAX digital style screen which is smaller and of a lower quality than regular IMAXs like the BFI London IMAX in Waterloo. read more

It's alright but I've experienced better. I'm spoiled being American as I'm used to Lowes IMAX theatres in New York City where they add butter to your popcorn!!!! At the end of the day, however, I got to see my film so it was alright. read more

The cinema has 18 screens in total, so there's always a good variety of films on at any given time (including Bollywood and occasionally Nollywood films). It's a good alternative to the West End cinemas if you live in the area. There are Chinese and Italian restaurants, Nando's and Pizza Hut just outside the cinema and a Sainsburys at the other end of the road. There's a massive car park opposite the cinema so parking is never a problem. read more

As a cinema goes its the usual stuff, state of the art etc but don't go there unless you're a polar bear because the place is so darn cold you'll freeze off your brass monkeys. Even in the summer I go there wearing a jumper and a coat as the air con is on ridiculous below zero mark -50 somewhere and the only sound effects I usually hear are my teeth chattering. Go to Bluewater much more comfy and less expensive read more

This is the best cinema I've been to outside London. Outside, the car park is huge so there's no trouble parking. There are a handful of restaurants, including Pizza Hut, so lunch or dinner can be combined with your trip. Inside, there's everything you'd expect to find by way of snacks and drinks and the seats are spacious and comfortable. It's an Odeon cinema so tickets can be booked online and, although it's hard to find a number to speak to someone, when you do; the service is excellent. On one occasion, I was running late for a film (stuck in traffic). I phoned the cinema and they simply swapped my tickets for a later showing. This type of service goes a long way. read more

From my experience the odeon is very wheelchair accessible with lifts and disabled toilets as well as a place for the wheelchair inside the screening room read more

Great place for the family, friendly and caring staff and a wide selection of films at any one time. The popcorn and drinks and snacks are very over priced, but most cinemas are now adays. They have a few food deals on at any one time which helps to soften the blow. read more

Odeon cinema I believe is the best in the world! Odeon & UCI has a 23% market share, followed by Cineworld on 21% and Vue with 17%. Analysts said the neck-and-neck positioning of the businesses would make any sector consolidation a likely target of regulators. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/related-5045-guy-hands.do read more

The cinema used to be much better back in the days when filmworks owned it, now the screens with screening times etc harldy work n it looks poorly. maybe go to another read more

It may not be as posh as gunwalf, but it is more cosey and a lot cheaper!

ODEON is an adequate cinema, good enough for a family viewing experience. The auditoriums themselves are spacious and plentiful, with a satisfactory amount of legspace. Although, in the auditorium there can be some popcorn left on the floor, this may be at fault of the janitors. The location does play a part, with many busses going to this location and parking available. Near the cinema are resturants like PREZZO and Nandos. The sweeties ar overpriced, but slushies and hotdogs and whatnot are exceptionally priced. Inside the cinema is a Costa Coffee and shops to supply your needs, like a Ben and Jerry's and an area to buy slushies and hotdogs and whatnot. However the popcorn was HORRIBLE! It had no taste and was disgusting! 2/5. read more

You can get to Odeon Greenwich from North Greenwich station. It's about a 20 minute walk from there or 10 minute bus ride, the bus stop being a few steps from the station exit with the bus stopping directly outside the cinema. The 18 screen cinema is surrounded by a few restaurants/fast food joints including Nando's, McDonald's, Pizza Hut etc, and there are lots of parking spaces for those who drive. The auditoriums are big with good sized screens and comfy premium seats or Gallery seats if you want the VIP experience. You can expect the usual high prices for food/snacks/drinks so bring your own refreshments if you're on a budget. I wasn't able to pick up free wifi in the auditorium but are able to access free wifi from Pizza Hut just outside the Cinema entrance. Apart from it being a bit tricky to the only other disadvantage is that it has a ridiculously small ladies toilet for the size of the cinema, expect long queues after screenings. read more

I remember when this cinema was built and I used to visit quite a lot and loved it. But as the price went up and the standards dropped, I moved on. But there was a Bollywood film I wanted to see, and I wanted free parking so back I headed to the Odeon after a few years absence using my Orange Wednesday voucher. Walking in I was very surprised - it was new, and spotless with a Costa inside. Tickets were still a bit on the expensive side at £10.20 each (because of voucher we paid £10.20 for both of us). So far so good. Got to the screen (screen 7) and yup, that too had been redecorated with new seats and it looked great. And that's where it ends. The seats were the worst things I have ever ever sat on! For the whole film I could not get comfy. They are rock solid with no give at all and are strangely short in length (I'm 5'2, and my feet touched the ground but my legs were hanging off the seat - it was like sitting on a ledge!). These chairs have not been designed for viewing pleasure! I'm not sure what they've been designed for. I do know though, that because of the fear of having to sit on them again I will never willingly visit an Odeon! read more

I had not been to this cinema for years and will not be going again. Very few staff so i had to buy a ticket from a machine. Having paid, my ticket did not print. After waiting ages to get help, the staff member, who was trying to serve snacks wrote me details on a piece of paper. I then showed this to the staff member who checks the tickets. I went to Screen 12, sat through all the adverts and the film started. The name of the film never came up on screen so it took a while to realise that it was the wrong film. I should have been sent to Screen 1. By this point i had missed the beginning of the film i had wanted to see. I had to wait to see a Duty Manager. He could not instantly refund my money as i did not have a ticket! So now i will have to wait fir a refund. The cinema is quite run down. Escalaters were not working and the toilets were dirty. read more

this is one of my favourite cinema house,the building holds more than 14 film screens,it has its own bar on the ground floor,coffee stall,popcorn and ice cream.its a nice place for family and for new lovers going on a first date. read more

Its an alright cinema. i 've been here and yes enjoyed myself. But just as much as i do at others. The Service is nice and definately an upward mark. But it hasn't done anything to jump out and make it special. At the end of the day it is an odeon and you expect there to be some good service from these. read more

pretty good cinema, however slightly expensive even for london at £8.50 for adults. the gallery is available for most of the big films but it is more expensive. lots of screens and food outlets make it a good night out though. read more

I really dislike this cinema. I went there with my boyfriend to see The Simpsons Movie and after watching the adverts we realised that there was something wrong with the sound. My other half went to tell the staff there and they said that they would see what was wrong and fix it. Which they didn't. We waited until the film started and the sound was still awful, even after sitting through adverts telling us not to watch pirate dvds because the sound is bad! We complained again and this time were told that one of the speakers was broken and there was a sign at the box office telling us this (we didn't see it). See we got our money back and left. Most annoying thing was the incompetency of the staff. We did write to Odeon though and they sent us two free tickets, so not all bad! read more

perfect view close restaurants perfect for outings

I'd give it NO stars if I could. OK, Let me start by saying this cinema is disgusting, DO NOT GO THERE! It's awful - all the current management appear to have NO managerial skills what so ever, it's as if they've just walked in off the street. They have no understanding of customer care. I've been going to this cinema for 10+ years & seen a lot of changes but Sunday the 24th June 2012 was the last straw, I'd booked two premier seats only to find people already sitting in them even though the screen had been ushered, obviously the staff require training on reading ticket numbers & seat allocation. Well I'd bought some alcohol & snacks as you do, a bottle of champagne in fact from the gallery. So after asking the individuals to move myself & failing the usher tried & failed, thus proceeded to call management who also tried & failed to remove said very rude people, we were then asked to step outside the screen & wait for senior management to turn up & try to resolve the situation as now it had become a situation. Senior management (Mel) asked us what would we like her to do. To this we replied remove the very rude people from our seats, to this MEL replied "That would require disrupting the entire cinema to reallocate all that were sitting in the wrong seats" which she was not prepared to do. By now 30 minutes had passed by & I was a little annoyed to say the leased, so now all I wanted was a full refund of tickets & booze. Now the fiasco that ensued would have been laughable had I not wanted to desperately leave the place. First we went downstairs to get the refund sorted then we went upstairs to get it sorted then back downstairs, as refunds cannot be carried out upstairs. So now it's taken an hour to sort all this out & we finally leave. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. EVER! I normally spend in the region of £100 on booze & snacks at Odeon not any more. read more

been there twice in the last couple of months and both times -the worst cinema experience in my life!!! the 1st time i thought it was just staff error but after 2nd time there will never be the 3rd! where do i start..right,they have premium seats and standard seats.all the seats that face the screen are premium and very side-view are standard.when they sell you a ticket they will give you that shit standard one(only £1.5 difference in price to premium one) and will tell you that you can sit anywhere you like(but they will 'forget' to mention'exept the premium area'),and you will only find that its not true when you with your popcorn and drink are chased away from any decent seat by a very mean security guy who will make sure you stay in your standard seat through the whole movie.unless you specifically ask them how can you change your standard ticket(which you would never knowingly have bought) to the premium one they'll never tell you that all you need to do is to go back to ticket counter and pay additional £1.5,they'll just tell you to talk to supervisor later and watch you upset in your standard seat overlooking half-empty premium seat area! in short-the staff knowingly forcing you to watch your movie from the worst possible angle and Will destroy your night out because otherwise they will never sell those crap standard tickets! If you bothered to complain,you have to be very strong lol cos they will try to blame your ignorance etc.if you wait 1hour the superviser will refund you the money for the ticket! anyone who serves food there is very slow,messy and dont know what they doing,they never have any napkins for your ice-cream which will be badly messed up and sticky.found that my screen was 'colder than usual' from the sign above the popcorn counter when already bought the tickets,the popcorn and drinks etc,not from the guy who sold the tickets to me 1hour before the screening! what else to say,it gets busy and dirty there and looks like a meat market..huge queues to get to the screens,and at £20 spend per person you get literally bullshit,a night you'd rather forget-just dont go,its so not worth it! best,Lily read more
