Odeon Cinema

I’ve noticed that all the Odeons have a very strange layout so it’s not the easiest to find your theater. I like the staff here, they’ve always been kind and friendly.
It’s not the newest theater, but it’s near my house. Plus: Odeon offers student discounts.

I’ve only been here the once so far but as it is the closest cinema to home I will probably venture back when I don’t have the energy to use my free pass at Vue or Cineworld. I saw a film in screen 6 which felt like someone’s front room which was a nice refreshing change from the large multiplex screens.
The interior of the cinema feels old and it could do with a refit at some point but the main advantage is that it is cheap for London at just under £10 per ticket.

Don’t feel this cinema at all, I’m more a VUE person than odeon, this particular odeon has very bad leg room and just feels dirty and unclean

Screen 6 has comfy chairs and is huge which meant nobody (I didn’t know) was sitting next to me whilst I made notes, clapped, stamped me feet in excitement and squealed as I spotted the hidden clues in the Avengers!
Yes, I’m a super geek.

I went to Odeon Streatham last night for the advance screening of The Hunger Games (yes, I’m a nerd). I normally opt for cinemas in Central London but Streatham was cheaper and is about halfway between Central London and where I currently live, so I figured I might as well. We were in the main theatre, which was really cool. Pretty much was a converted live theatre. I was expecting a lot of people to be around but there weren’t many, maybe because it was a Thursday night. Weekends might get a bit rowdier. The sound and screen were perfect, I was a bit nervous about the sound before the trailers started as the music they were playing was a bit grainy but that was just the album I guess. I probably wouldn’t go again since there are closer cinemas to me, but for a special occasion it’s good :)

a decent place to watch a film as the prices for ticktets & food are ok

staff were very nice and prices were good too. no thrills but i enjoyed.

Went to see Up, the film froze about 40 mins in. The technical staff had told me when I complained that they’d had the same problem with an earlier screening — yet they’d sold the £10.45 tickets anyway! The management were rude and tried to placate the angry audience with a single voucher to go to another film. No refund offered until it was demanded. I’d only ever heard bad things about this cinema, and took a chance going — won’t be going again.

Streatham has obviously had quite a fall from grace since its heydays as the Oxford Street of South London, thankfully, however, most of its opulent buildings remain — the Odeon cinema being one of them.
The main screen here (screen 1) is eye wateringly massive, 10 times the size of the modern cineplex crap. Even the local gangsters don’t sit at the back, partly because there is no security anyway, but mainly because its half a mile away from the screen.
It’s pretty cheap as London cinemas go too — £7 odd an adult, and conveniently situated opposite Sainsburys for cheap snacks. Personally I’ve been here a few times and never experienced any problem with the Streatham wannabe gangstas, even at late viewings, although that is probably down to differing viewing tastes!

I have heard several stories of screenings at this cinema being disrupted by fights or general thuggery, but never seen anything like that first hand. Far worse, though, they don’t actually know how to project films. They once started showing a film in the wrong aspect ratio, and I had to go out and complain to get them to fix it. They didn’t really seem that fussed. Never, ever go here.

Streatham Odeon should be one of London’s finest cinemas. Its main screen is massive and the room is better designed and more full of character in my opinion than the Odeon on Leicester Square. The only problem is that the employees let Streatham’s worst thugs disrupt almost every movie. I saw Lord of War on the main screen, which would have been bad enough without the gang in the back row of the cinema. Although I was near the front, the film was frequently disrupted by these idiots shouting, smoking pot and wielding knifes at anybody who looked at them. Why do the police not attend this cinema on a regular basis? Why do the staff not have a hot line to the police station, which is two blocks away? What a waste of a perfectly good cinema.

I’ve been to the Odeon in Streatham a few times and it’s not a bad little place. I went in there expecting it to be dingy and run-​down as many of the outer London Odeons are, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The cinema is always very crowded and it’s not always obvious which way you’re meant to go to get to your screen, but I’ve never had any problems once the film has started — the quality of the presentation has been immaculate and the behaviour of the customers has matched it. My only real negative is that the place could do with more cleaning staff.
The sweets area is also very good — a lot bigger than most with some sweets that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to see a film here, but if I was in the area I’d very happily return.

My best friend coined it: ‘What’s the point of having a cinema in your neighbourhood if all they show is crap movies?’ This Odeon only shows mainstream box office hits, which isn’t all bad. The main problem with this place is the fact that they serve pre-​popped popcorn. Pre-​popped meaning popped and bagged hundreds of miles away, shipped to the cinema and then served to movie-​goers. There’s just something so wrong about that. Is it so difficult to buy a popcorn machine, cop some kernels and get to popping on the premises? All in all, besides the popcorn popping peeve, this is a normal movie theatre. If you want to see the newest film, you can watch it happily here on this big screen… as long as you don’t eat the popcorn.

If your like me and partial to a movie or two every now and again then you obviously know about Odeon Cinemas? The best Odeon that I have been to is the Streatham, the vibe in there is always buzzing, with everyone young and old packing out the place, even the corridor is an adventure, you meet loads of people there, even though it is a cinema. It is massive inside there with over 5 screens and a big bar where you can stock up on all the necessities, popcorn, hot dogs etc. People all over South London tend to hit up this cinema because it’s central and just for the atmosphere of the place alone makes people want to travel on the 109 bus to get there!

Not a bad little cinema at all. This cinema is rather oldy worldy compared to the huge multiplexes that have popped up of late. It is slap bang in the middle of streatham high street and is easy to get to from all other local areas. The staff are friendly in general and are quite helpful. I would say to bring your own snacks and confectionary, the prices are absolutely scandalous! There tends not to be too many crowds for daytime and weekday evening showings, during the weekends it does get a little busy.

A good one from the Odeon family. The staff are helpful and generally quite cheerful. Has a wide range of the usual cinema foodstuffs but being a skinflint i always bring my own, especially with a woolies across the road to stock up on cheap sweeties and drinks. Easy to get to on buses and about ten minute walk from Streatham Hill station. Clean, a number of small cinema screens and one big screen, generally good sound.

With the reputation that Streatham HIgh Road has I normally got to the Odeon in Wimbledon or the cinema in Wandsworth Common. But as this is closer and it was pouring with rain I decided to give it a go.
I was very surprised as it was very painless getting a ticket and getting something to eat and drink was easy. The cinema I was in was very clean, comfortable and had good sound.
Its served by a lot of buses and you can find some non-​resident parking across the road in the side roads.
All cinema’s seem to rip people off on the popcorn and drinks so take your own!

Great place to visit with the family or with your other half!
Very good location, lots of buses from Brixton and surrounded by a number of cheap and cheerful restaurants.
Being located away from central London, tickets for adults can be as cheap as £6.50!
