I always go mid-week and it's a pretty pleasant experience. The seats are comfy and the screen and sound quality is excellent. A little overpriced but then so is everywhere in London.
Local cinema for North Londoners, in the N1 Islington Shopping Centre, a few minutes walk from Angel Station. Plenty of cubicles for the Ladies in the large foyer.
VivianDecember 5, 2014Lots of late night movies, love the Vue extreme room. Shopping area downstairs, Sainsbury nearby (better get popcorn and drinks from here)
Ben AdelieAugust 23, 2017Decent cinema within the shopping centre. Easy to find food and beverages outside before you go in and often not very busy. They do live opera screenings here!
Jordi LlobetFebruary 10, 2015Nice cinema. Big, good movies, the people are nice, and there is a guy during the film to sell you some snaks!! LOL!
Justine ArrecheDecember 3, 2014Really comfortable cinema seating. Pay the extra bit for the more spacious seats and you'll feel like you're watching a movie at home!
This cinema is good, but always smells a bit, especially around the lobby. There's lots of screens including 3D and Xtreme and also Ben & Jerrys.
Go for the Vue Xtreme screenings if you can: much larger theatres than the standard small halls. No wifi, usually bad reception inside which can be a boon and a curse.
Not bad for a semi-central multiplex chain, and tickets on Mon/Tues are 7 pounds. Sainsburys and mini Waitrose across the street for snacks.
Toby HammansJuly 17, 2013Screen 10 seems tiny from the seating plan, but it's actually a reasonable size for a small screen and the seats are excellent.
Reserved seats are the norm (unlike the states) so no need to arrive early
Comfortable seating. Everything is overpriced as you might expect in a London chain cinema. Something feels weird in the screen 10, thought.
Dason EvansFebruary 16, 2011Get your tickets upstairs - no difference to the till downstairs but much much quicker- you can choose seats, do orange Wednesday's, everything!
Nick JohnsonMarch 18, 2017This is a pretty grotty cinema. Everything works fine, but it feels run down.
Rachel RothNovember 12, 2017Hate that you have to buy “VIP seats” in even a small theatre if you don’t want the front or back rows.
Jason QuarisaJune 1, 2019The service is terrible and they are very slow. They never have enough staff working and the staff are always very slow. Cinema itself is ok.
Jack BruceSeptember 11, 2010When buying popcorn, get the £2 Kids meal... Decent popcorn amount, a drink AND Haribo! Which would otherwise set you back £10... Theres no sharing though which is kinda a bummer
LondonistOctober 17, 2010Avoid the expensive snack counter and get a hot dog for a third of the price from the vendor outside. Or, better yet, go to a better cinema and eat real food.- Get your drinks and snacks from sainsburys before you go in.
Get your movie by interrupted by annoying kids while the staff sit back and nothing and allow kids to sit in VIP seats while you pay a fortune for them!
Andrew SmallwoodAugust 7, 2012Soulless and I'd rather be at Screen on the Green but good quality screens
@JoshiSidhu Shaan.org.ukSeptember 6, 2012This is the worst cinema by far! The manager doesn't know how to manage. The screens are not supervised. The lights remain on during the film. It's best to watch a film in your living room.- Alison RocheApril 20, 2011The scummiest cinema ever! Staff don't care and the cinemas have popcorn all over the floor.
Abisola OmoleOctober 14, 2011Get the HUGE slushy, with fanta fruit twist on side and raspberry on the other!!
Jason-Gabriel LowdonJanuary 4, 2013I've realised after coming for year that this cinema is actually awful! The service is awful, they don't take American Express and the toilets are disgusting...definitely go elsewhere if you can.
Never go for screen 10... it's on the ground floor and so small it reminds of your own room. Horrible experience 🙈
Don't get a drink or snacks here as super expensive. Just go across the road to Sainsbury.
LeeDecember 11, 2023Staff in desperate need of any sort of customer service training - please 😞. Asked for coffee and the guy serving looked like he wanted to kill me.
Bloody expensive. The price of popcorn etc is just ridiculous:(
Mustafa FaruqiNovember 28, 2010Avoid the expensive car park and park in Zone B for free after 1330 on Saturdays
Bradley WoodFebruary 22, 2014They will rip you a second asshole at the snack counter. Picturehouse cinemas are much better.
Avoid on Wednesday and Saturday evenings at all costs! The place is a hellhole.
Toby DevesonJune 12, 2013Dropped in spur of the moment to watch something random. £15 a ticket?!?!?!! Sorry vue, way way too much. You just lost a customer.
Christoph BurgdorferJanuary 15, 2010Don't go, is very bad cinema: can hear blow dryer from toilet during movie, brightness of movie changed multiple times, didn't fully turn the lights off!- Dan Hopchet ✨February 3, 2011when its really busy with lines downstairs during busy wednesdays, remember you can also go upstairs to buy tickets and very few do. you're welcome
