“This cinema is one of the best I’ve visited in terms of comfort and technology. The screens are massive with excellent image clarity and the sound system is immersive, giving films real depth. Staff are courteous, professionalnand make the ticketing and seating process smooth. Concessions have a wide variety of options and everything is served fresh. The seating layout is well thought out, with unobstructed views from nearly every spot. The theatre is spotless and the lighting adds to the cinematic ambiance. Overall, the experience is immersive, enjoyable and well worth the visit.”

“Been meaning to visit this cinema since it opened and finally did it and loved the experience. £8 a ticket and a great food and drinks selection (including alcoholic beverages). Comfy seats and huge screen, I implore anyone to visit as we don’t want to lose this gem in Walthamstow!”
