London BFI IMAX Theatre

First the accessibility to the location. It is a maze activity. The theatre is located in centre of a roundabout. And the access is underground ducts located all around the roundabout. So basically no need to cross the roundabout. Just get in an underground ducts and it has directions marked to BFI IMAX. Once you there, just keep walking to first floor for theatre access. Surprisingly no scanning of tickets. Just random checks. Definitely it’s a big screen and a more vertical seating arrangement. They claim it’s biggest in UK. Sound system was definitely good. I was there watching F1 movie. And the experience was mind blowing. The team at F1 movie have done fabulous job to make us the experience the thrill of F1 cars driving. Truly worth experiencing the screen and sound system. A tick box sort of thing. As the tickets are expensive compared to regular theatres. And it’s conveniently located near Waterloo station. So if you are a visitor to London, getting to the location won’t be a much hassle.

Nice friendly staff. The sound & projection are good. The seats and leg space reminded me of industrial chicken farming. Leg space would be okay for a 6 year old. Very uncomfortable. This is not a cinema wear you can enjoy a movie. 27 € for one ticket is completing the masochistic experience. Not recommend.

Wow!! What can I say, a truly incredible experience. The wall to wall and ceiling to floor size screen really held me in to the film, combine that with the incredible sound system, seating designed so no matter where you sit your view is unobstructed, the film I saw (How To Train Your Dragon) drew me into the world and I lived it!! The snacks I had, Large mixed popcorn and a large coca cola, pretty well priced for the experience, overall the experience was so fun, even a really nice a chill cafe downstairs to grab a coffee in or socialise, so we'll done to the bfi for that. One small criticism I'd give is the amount of legroom was very little. This may be down to the design of the seating, which is understandable.despite this it never bothered me and I never lost sight of the film. I'd 100 percent come back for another film!

If you’re in London and looking for the best IMAX screen, you’ve come to the right place. The sound and picture are absolutely incredible, and the concession stand options are decent. The only downside is the getting there, but it’s worth it for the high-tech IMAX screen and Dolby sound. Trust me, it’s an experience you won’t regret!

It's got a very posh feeling to it. The ground floor lounge and cafe is very nice. The coffee wasn't surprisingly overpriced. The underground pass was hard to find. I wish there were bigger signs out on the main road. The screen is surprisingly big. It was my first experience. But my seat wasn't very good..the lower you are the worse the experience. So it is recommended that you get the higher seats. Recording inside the theatre is not allowed. They are very strict about that.
