Wow. London's best kept secret!
I can't believe that my boyfriend has been living in London for three years and we've never been here! As a movie fanatic, let me tell you, this theatre is REALLY NICE. Definitely nicer than the VIP in Toronto, and maybe even... the nicest theatre I have ever been to? And it's in LONDON?!
This place is amazing - and when I say "this place" I mean the VIP cinemas - the rest is pretty standard Cineplex. The VIP has three theatres in a completely separate area. The lounge is almost like a nice restaurant or bar, I could definitely see myself hanging out there before or after the movie.
The theatres themselves are so nice. Much larger than VIP cinemas elsewhere, they have leather reclining seats, and if you happen to get stuck in the front, well they have wide leather couch type chairs. However, if you book your tickets advance online, they do have seat selection so you should be able to get the seat you want. Every two chairs there is a table, with a full menu. This includes a full bar (I had a Caesar, yum!), appetizers, entrees, and your standard candy and popcorn.
The service inside the VIP theatre is so friendly and prompt as well - we asked for our popcorn in two separate bags because I wanted flavor, and they brought us out two larges for the price of one!
Overall, I had a great experience here. It is totally worth the extra few dollars to see your movies in VIP. I'll be back! -
Review from Janna S.
It's not hard to understand why this place is crammed every time I visit - this theatre is the newest and most luxurious cinema in London, and it looks like people don't mind paying for that. I'd planned to see a movie in the VIP theatre but it was already sold out when I arrived an HOUR before the movie began. This wasn't a new release; that leads me to believe that the VIP treatment is a destination in and of itself. Buy your tickets in advance online to avoid disappointment.
I got in the lineup for the regular screenings and I was impressed by how quickly it moved along, but it wasn't much fun to wait in line with everyone else wanting to grab a seat. The VIP reserved seating is definitely going to bring me back here! -

Really cool theater. Best thing about this place is in the VIP section you can pre-purchase your tickets online and select your seats ahead of time so you can just show up right when the movie starts. Really convenient and beautiful cinema-

Probably the nicest Movie Theatre in the city of London. It was just re-built right behind Westmount Mall last summer I believe? and features an amazingly nice VIP section (Although I have yet to go, but I will!) with full bar with decor that rivals some of the nicest bars in the city as well, I can't comment much more on the VIP other than what I've seen from the front but it looks impressive with full lounge complete with fireplaces and nice leather seating.
I can however comment on the rest of the theatre as I came here to watch Sherlock Holmes over the Christmas break. The rest of it is nice, and redone although it doesn't seem to be as big as the Silver City located in the Masonville Area. But it does however make up for that with it brand new reclining seats, yeah that's right I said reclining seats at a movie theatre! Although has brand new big screens with brand new equipment and sound to match. So in other words the movie experience is amazing! even if your not 19+ and able to go into the VIP (Although I am, lol, but don't worry I will go to VIP one of these days and make a review based on that too.)
The concessions sport your usual movie fare including the usual popcorn, pop, nachos, chocolate bars, etc. Although they seem to be on the pricey side, make sure you get a large for free refills! Lots of debit machines and automated ticket machines if the lines are too big, which they can tend to get on holidays and weekends. Oh and not to mention half price Tuesday are a zoo! But if your in the area by far the best theatre whether your sitting in VIP or regular, period. -

I come here for the VIP treatment. Getting comfy seats without annoying kiddies and having food and drink brought to you is pretty divine. The chicken fingers, yam fries and (alcoholic) strawberry smoothie is my usual here. Once the chicken fingers came on a plate which was like a disaster spill waiting to happen and they got cold quickly, so I hope that was just an odd fluke. Service is relatively quick, but you could be getting your food/drink during the previews...or even the first few minutes of the movie itself if you're one of the last to put an order in.
Yes, it's pricey but it makes for a great date night experience. Even if the date is a bunch of friends. Although, you sit two together so make sure you don't have a third wheel along. Heh. -

I mean, they bring the food and alcohol to you. So the lazy, obese American in me can't help but appreciate the fact that I can get everything I need, on my personal lazyboy, without even having to get up (19+ of course). Now, if they would provide me with a pillow and a potty bucket, I would never have to get up or out...

Ain't no Movie like a VIP movie! I'm strictly talking about the VIP side of things here while I have been on the other side and had a good experience the VIP theatre experience is what I am fond of. The crowd being 19+ making it a slightly more mature moving going experience. First off I love that you can reserve your seats by ordering tickets online and because the seats are sectioned off in twos with lots of space between them there is no uncomfortable pair in the place. Even the very front of the house (though EXTREMELY close to the screen) has it's perks as it is a full on recliner so you can essentially lay there and watch the movie. I do prefer around row C-D as I've found this to be the best view/service area. You can order drinks (alcoholic or otherwise) and an array of menu items to make it a dining experience as well as seeing a movie. The price is more for entry $15.99 vs 10.99 but the extra 5 dollars is worth it if even just for the amount of room you get, the comfort level overall and the at seat service for concession needs (you can still get it yourself if you choose as well). The price of the food items overall is reasonable as well. For a strawberry smoothie, chicken fingers and a side yam fries it's around $12 total and the chicken fingers are huge and tack on a pop and you've got lunch for two people with this. I'd avoid the mozza sticks as the price is high given they are more like tater tot size. The bathrooms are clean, the staff courtesous, the lounge that you can wait in before the show is private and just overall takes the movie going experience to the next level. I was very skeptical about it until I experienced it myself now I'm a regular patron to the VIP section. If it means seeing only 1 movie a month vs two to be able to afford that little extra I say do it...it's well worth it! You'll truly fall back in love with going to the movies :D
