Bf and I came here to see No Time to Die this past weekend!!! Was such a great feeling being in a movie theater in front of the big screen again, and for the long-awaited James Bond movie at last! Screen 8 where we watched the movie was a large theater room, which is what you want for such an action movie I think. Boyfriend pointed out it wasn't edge to edge (so there might be even better options out there), but I didn't even notice that before he mentioned it and thought the huge screen and great sound system did the job. Sound was loud enough without being deafening, so just right imo. The seats we got were in the very center in front of the walkway (so no rows of seats in front of us, yet we're not too close), which I would absolutely recommend! read more

I looooove going to the cinema. It's one of those easy, reliable ways of treating yourself. But let's be discerning about it. We're lucky in London because we have so many options. Given that, I can't see why Vue is worth going to. I didn't realise before coming here, but a standard ticket on a Sunday afternoon was £12.99 in what must have been one of their smaller screens. Come on. Bear in mind we're not in zone 1, Leicester Square premiere central. I can think of several cinemas that would do far cheaper tickets (obviously especially if you go on their deal days), but also, if you do want to spend over a tenner on a ticket, then for goodness' sake go to an Everyman or something. I think that's about £1.50 more expensive and you get a sofa and a waiter, plus there are a couple pretty close to this Vue. (Nevermind paying £8.99 for a popcorn and drink.) The screen we were in was also really odd - it was a large screen but only four rows of seats, and they were very close to the screen itself. It was quite hard to actually see the whole screen because we were so pushed up against it. It didn't make for an enjoyable viewing experience. That was also only once we got into it - the movie started late because the lights were off, the place wasn't set up, and nobody knew why. Pretty weird and overpriced place. read more

I went to the room 10. It's super small and I was expecting something really bad. It turns out that the screen was really bid, the sound perfect and the atmosphere cozy. I totally recommend this room ! That would be a 5 stars if we could access to the room directly with a mobile ticket. read more

Having spent the last four years going to this cinema I cannot express how underwhelmed I am by this cinema. (Yes okay I said four years - I am a gluten for punishment - well actually I am just lazy and cannot be bother to go further afield) Okay the seats are comfy and the films run on time and its a cinema but the place is generally dirty....just look at the serving counters.... Why don't the management do something about this? Though to be fair to the guys at Finchley all of the other Vue cinema's are awesome when they open but are not well maintained after that. As for the service...no disrespect to the staff but GUYS can you move any slower? I appreciate this is not the most challenging of jobs but how hard can it be to get a double diet coke combo with salty popcorn, and M&Ms and nachos and minstrels and oh is that ice cream? I get soooooooo frustrated I almost have an aneurysm every time. Perhaps I am being unfair but others I have been with have been a lot more cruel in their description of the "slowness" of the staffs reasoning. If you drive to the cinema beware you do have to pay for parking at the O2 centre. I stopped going here when the Vue Cinema in Westfield Shopping Mall/Centre opened. And though it is further and arguable less convenient from where I live....it is preferable. Final....if they served Toffee Popcorn I would think about forgiving them...they don't serve it so no forgiveness. read more

Nice cinema in the O2 Finchley Road. More convenient than anything and it's my 1st choice of cinema near me. Comfortable seats, friendly staff and large screens. However, the ticket prices are much more expensive here than other Vue cinemas? Why? I don't know. Downfalls for this cinema is the bleeding of more money from customers for VIP seats. It's a cinema - stop this madness! And also, their mice problem. They've still not gotten rid of those pests. read more

While this is a tidy and well kept cinema, there are a few significant problems. I can remember when they first introduced VIP seating that it would be a row or two in the larger screens across the middle center. However at least at the screen we went to, it made up a huge chunk of the entire middle of the cinema resulting in the only normal seats in the middle on the incline are a few rows at the front and then at the rear. Plus, for some reason at this cinema you have to pay through the nose for not only the tickets but for everything. These days you end up paying nearly £10 a head for tickets that will never be the best in the screen and then another £10 a head if you want a soda and a hotdog. Yep, a fountain soda which costs virtually nothing to make and a pretty darn cheap hotdog. There must be at least £9 profit in that combo. It was also weird as there seemed to be only one member of staff on duty when we went there - note that by the looks of things you'd need at least three members out the front to run the place (one on the main counter, one on the ice cream counter and another checking tickets in front of the screens). But because there was just the one, we got to wander straight into the screens without being checked at all. You'd think that given the amount of money they're charging at this cinema that they would have adequate staff numbers. Oh and cocktails? Seriously, as if the understaff place didn't need more to do. How about being a better value cinema rather than trying to serve presumably poorly mixed (or pre-mixed) cocktails. read more

We went and saw Spectre, in what Vue calls a 4k screening, which is meant to be extra clear or something. I didn't really notice. The sound was good. The seats are comfortable enough, with adequate leg room. The arm rests go up, which is nice. The big issue for me was the huge number of premium seats - not only were they, of course, the best located seats - they were most of the seats. So the seats that were left were bordering on sub-standard. Luckily it wasn't busy so our enjoyment wasn't limited. The concession stand prices are INSANE. We shared a large hot dog/drink combo, and it was £10. Absurd, and the prices aren't clearly listed anywhere so you can't even make an informed decision. It wasn't even a tasty hot dog, and you couldn't put the sauce on it yourself. read more

I find Vue cinema's consistant in facilities and style. This theatre is no exception. It has nice comfortable seats with slope style seating so you don't have to worry about someone tall sitting in front of you and blocking your view. This is important to me! I find this cinema does get exceptionally busy as it is located in the heart of Finchley Road, Swiss Cottage at the top of a very busy mall (the O2 centre). This venue has eight screens so there is always something you might want to see. I like the convenience of this location and I often go to the O2 centre and upon arriving go to the cinema, check out something I want to see and what time it starts. I then go shopping in the mall and get something to eat in one of the many restaurants, ending up with my visit to watch a movie. You can buy an ice cream from the many flavours offered in the cinema foyer or as my friend does, fill up a bag of sweets to take in to the theatre with you (expensive though). Good times! read more

Going to the cinema should always be a spectacular experience! Whenever I go the cinema, I like to sit back and relax in big comfy chair. I love Vue's large viewing screens and plush seats. I came here to watch the new bond film and was amazed by the self serve ticketing machines that are very efficient. For a movie time snack, there's Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream in the lobby near the front entrance or you can fill your own bag up with candy. read more

Worse movie theatre I went to. The cinema was dirty, female toilet was disgusting, toilet didn't have toilet tissue and had a pregnancy test on top of the bin then I had to explain to my 13 year old daughter that it was something else. Then when reported this issue to staff they were rude and to find out later from other staff that they were actual management so if management can't lead by a good example then you end up having a run down theatre like the one at o2 Finchley Road. So surprising being in such a prestige area. Would never spend petrol to one go out my way to come to this threa better yet spend £5 on a drink when staff are rude and theatres is dirty. read more

Quite small, but holds the Vue standard I'm used to from visiting other venues. Clean & tidy with comfortable seats & fresh popcorn.

Generally a good cinema - but watch out for screen 11. Pretty small with a badly placed and distracting exit sign, but still the same price as other tickets. Definitely don't see any movie playing on this screen. read more

The Vue at O2 is pretty simple, seen one Vue you've seen them all really, it is in a great location though and with a varied choice of restaurants in the centre it has become my cinema of choice. If you buy tickets through lastminute.com you can get them half price which makes going to movies a much cheaper night out. You can get all the usual movie snacks and drinks, I do recommend trying the Fanta freeze, I think they are really tasty though im sure they are composed 100% of chemicals. The cinemas have no seat numbers so get in a little early or you might get stuck with a seat on the sides or right in front which is always rubbish! read more

We've only been here a handful of times and every time we go we say we won't go back. The cinema screens feel like they've been split in half as does the auditorium / seating. I'd highly recommend finding your film elsewhere. And have fun queuing for your popcorn / snacks beforehand. We spent almost 10 minutes waiting. And then the popcorn seemed stale. Expensive to get in, expensive snacks, crap screens. read more

This place is average at best. I'd say you are better off going to Everyman in hampstead for the same price.

Vue cinema has a good timetable of daily showings all through out the week non stop, the chairs are comfortable and the confectionary not to over priced. Also if you have an orange phone you can get 2 for 1 on Wednesday night viewings. read more

This Vue multiplex shows a selection of blockbusters on repeating cycles through the day, including late night screenings. The screens are a decent size, and the furniture recently refurbished. However, tickets aren't exactly cheap and the popcorn tasted on the stale side. More distressingly: our cinema was infested by mice which ran up and down the aisle throughout the film. I won't be returning. read more

This multiplex actually shares its area with a large sainsburys, so you can team up film and then late night grocery shopping. Within the complex there is restaurants, such as Nandos, and a few drinking places, a book shop.. and a few shops. Nandos gets extremely busy. There is also a large area downstairs where there is a fish tank. I also like the water feature as you go up the escalator. I've never had a problem with the cinema at all, its always been satisfactory. Also dont forget to validate your parking ticket if you've eaten or shopped in the complex, so you don't have to pay. read more

This is a cinematic experience, but it is not cheap. It is located in the 02 centre which is five minute walk from Finchley Road tube station, Jubille and Metropolitian lines. The cinema has multi screens, so great for a family wanting to watch different things! This is where you want to watch the action blockbusters as the screen and sound are amazing!!!! The seats are wider and lots more comfortable than your traditional cinema seat, they also incorporate a drinks holder, sadly the pop corn you have to hold till it's gone. The sweets and drinks are very expensive, bring your own! However, there is a ben and jerrys icecream stand. A great treat, not just for the kids. read more

Vue cinema in finchley road is somewhere i have been going with friends and family for years. Reasons for this are it's constant choice of good movies available. Another reason is it for it's friendly atmosphere from staff as they all provide service with a smile, followed by helpfull information on snack prices, latest releases and discounts. Once you take your seat in the theatre your provided with plenty of leg room which is always a bonus. So for the ultimate viewing experience i recommend the vue cinema in finchley rd. read more

Went to see Elle at this cinema today. When we went to buy our tickets, there was only one person at the cash till, and a queue of about ten people. This poor person had to sell the food and icecreams as well, while the queue got longer. When we complained at the other side of this vast space with about a dozen cash tills (there was only one other person hanging around and not selling) we were told there should not be anyone else there and we should get our tickets at the machine. We pointed out we had the Meerkat movies code and were senior citizens, he did not know what we were talking about. Lucky we arrived early, or we would have missed the film. Also, the cashier could not give me the right change, as he had none, Also, it was lucky we were honest, as there was no one at the barrier either to check the tickets. Absolutely abysmal service. You should be ashamed of yourselves! read more

This cinema provided the worst customer experience ever. Don't waste your money here.

i think view cinemas is a relly great place!

I like the way that you can buy your tickets from the numerous machines at the main entrance. It saves time as you can buy them in advance or at the very last minute on the day of your visit. You can choose your seat from the plan and pay extra for a luxury VIP seat with comfy leather and arm rests if you like (I normally opt for the standard seat). They have an excellent selection of the latest films.Cheapest tickets can be bought for performances before 5pm for Monday-Thursday. The seats are comfortable and there's plenty of leg room plus a holder for your drink. I should mention that the air conditioning can be a little too cold at times so you might need a jacket or cardigan just in case!The prices for the food, drink and ice creams are very expensive here. I recommend that you buy your sweets before the film starts from the Sainsburys which is downstairs! read more

Got to be the worst cinema in London. Avoid, avoid, avoid for the sake of your health.
