Odeon West End, Movie theater in Leicester Square, City of Westminster, United Kingdom
The Odeon West End houses two screening rooms within a modern five-story building connected to The Londoner hotel at Leicester Square. Both rooms feature Dolby Vision laser projection and Dolby Atmos sound technology.
The cinema first opened in 1930 and sustained bomb damage during World War II before reopening in 1941. After demolition in 2015, it returned in 2021 as part of The Londoner hotel complex.
The cinema hosts the London Film Festival, where international and independent films are screened throughout the year. This role connects it to the broader film culture of the city.
The venue sits at Leicester Square, a busy central location that is easy to reach. Visitors can book tickets online in advance, particularly helpful during peak film festival season.
The cinema is integrated into a hotel, allowing guests to stay and watch films within the same building. This arrangement is unusual for central London locations.
