Odeon - Liverpool's Number One

Advantages: Good sized screens, great auditoriums, caters for everyone,
Disadvantages: Popcorn sometimes cardboardy, expensive chocolate treats,

...I am a huge cinema fan, and living in the centre of Birmingham for the last couple of years has meant putting up with Odeon Birmingham. Needless to say, I was very happy to discover the brand spanking new Odeon in Liverpool One, Odeon Liverpool One Odeon is actually the largest cinema chain in the UK, created by Oscar Deutsch in 1928. Some say that the name comes from Ancient Greek, others say that it comes from the motto Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation. There are currently... a lot of Odeon cinemas across the UK (I tried to count, but it's a lot!). The website has a cinema finder to help you locate your nearest. For this review I shall be talking about Odeon, Liverpool ONE. When Liverpool ONE was redeveloped, the city centre Odeon branch was relocated here. The entrance can be found...

Review of Odeon Liverpool (City Centre)

Odeon in Kingston Upon Thames

Advantages: large cinema, night screening, many restaurants
Disadvantages: no parking around

...Odeon cinema complex in Kingston Upon Thames is a favourite destination for families, couples, groups and individuals from all over the area/county. It is one of the biggest cinemas around and it has got a choice of restaurants, bars and 12 screens which makes it easier with choosing from current movies. The complex is orientated oposite the Kingston train station and its short distance to high street. It is busy area and always buzzing. When you walk in through glass door you can either go upstairs using escalator or lift or downstairs. The ground floor has a restaurant during the day and bar in the night. I think they have got evening restaurant in separate area from tables when youngsters usually drink before hitting the nightclub Oceana next door. Lower level has got Bowling and other entertainment with bar and fast food...

Maidenhead Odeon Cinema - stay away!!

Advantages: there wasn't any!
Disadvantages: no food or drink, dirty, screens didn't work, didn't show any of the top movies

...we wanted to see. From the outside, the cinema doesn't seem as impressive or big compared to the Vue cinema I usually go to in Cambridge. We walked through the doors, to find a large, virtually empty room. There was a really old arcade machine to the right, and to the left a small counter where you're meant to buy your tickets. There was no food or drink to be seen, and at the far end of the room was a few doors with numbers above them - obviously being the screen numbers. So at this point, we were both pretty unimpressed by what we saw. However, both wanting to see a movie after our morning swim, we looked up at the two plasma screens above the counter to find out what time our movie was being shown. Guess what? They weren't on! We saw a few other groups of people looking through a booklet with ODEON plastered on the front, so I walked...

LUXURY IN LONDON!

Advantages: Brilliant rooms, service, food, internet etc
Disadvantages: expensive!!!

...In the middle of February, I was lucky enough to be whisked away for a long weekend in London with my grandma. I?m a huge fan of west end shows and musicals, and so our trip was booked- we would go and see various different shows. I couldn?t wait to go. One thing I hadn?t thought of before going however was which hotel we were staying in. I reckoned that we wouldn?t be spending too much time in the hotel itself, as we were going to be very busy, so as long as it had two beds, a bathroom and some sort of wardrobe I?d have been happy. I knew the name of the hotel was The Grosvenor, however I didn?t have a clue what its reviews were like, or in fact how many stars it had. Getting to the hotel We had absolutely no problem finding the hotel. We took the train from our hometown, to King?s Cross in London. We only had to wait...

Review of The Grosvenor, London

Odeon cinema - The Quay

Advantages: modern, clean
Disadvantages: access by road only

...Although located about 2 miles from the city centre, The Quay is in a retail park based around the Odeon cinema, making ideal for city centre visitors without having to pay parking charges. Ideally located for access from the M8 (eastbound Kinning Park exit), and from the M77. 12 screens, from 89 to 279. Normally showing between 14 and 18 films, at various times. Adult tickets are £5, students/children are £3.50. No further discounts are currently offered (as at 01/06/02). After entering the foyer, a rather vast servery is available in the centre of the floor. You are permitted to bring your own food/drinks onto premises. No alcohol is permitted, and there are no bars/licence. I have made several visits to this cinema and been in most of the screens, from the small cosy 89 seater to the massive 279 seater. All films...

Martins Guide To Manchester Part 3 - The Odeon

Advantages: The staff were excellent, I see other ops say they are poor butI suppose it's down to your visit experience
Disadvantages: Getting old, may be pulled down.

...Continuing my guide to Manchester, it?s time to look at the entertainment side (well part of it anyway) by looking at the Odeon Cinema in the City Centre. (By the way anything you think I should put in this guide, please let me know.) Set on Oxford Road, the Odeon is among the oldest cinemas in Manchester still in use today. It has plenty of screens (the exact number escapes me) showing films from early in the day to late at night, with midnight showings at weekends. The Odeon has stayed popular despite several multiplex cinemas opening nearby at the likes of The Trafford Centre, Didsbury, Belle Vue and the Manchester Evening News Arena. This is due partly to its extremely central location and no doubt in part to the Manchester student population living 5 minutes down the road. Facilities = The Odeon, despite its...

Review of Odeon Manchester

Odeon Cinema - Huddersfield

Advantages: clean, reasonable prices, easy to find and park
Disadvantages: bar needs updating, stupid premier seats

...i agree totally with the other review on the fact that odeon should have updated the cinema. it's a great cinema except for the bar, which is awful. it looks scruffy and dirty and hasn't had anything done since this opened as a UCI. The rest of it is good though. There is a lot of parking (but always full) and pizza hut and the ropewalk are right next door - great food at the ropewalk! there is always a good choice of films as you'd expect, but dont go to the preview showings or you'll be waiting ages to get in. the food is typical cinema food, add an extra £2 onto everything. also dont pay for the premier seats. they are like normal seats but with a tiny bit more leg room etc. we were gutted as we thought they were massage seats or something!...

LONDON'S CALLING

Advantages: Pleasent stay, good food, central location
Disadvantages: Views from room

...eateries/drinking places and chose 372, which offers carvery selection. I was surprise how hot and fresh the food was. Not only that it was tasty too! We opted for lamb with roast potatoes, new potatoes and three vegetables. However, my only complaint about the meal was the vegetables; they were a tad on the raw side for my liking. That said I ALWAYS OVER cook my veggies. Dessert was for me home made apple pie and cream, while the other half opted for home made cheesecake ? both were consumed without any complaints and very much enjoyed. Our meal for two with drinks cost £29) Hotel: the hotel it situated in the Strand which is in central London and easy to walk to theatres such as the Aldwych, Lyceum, and many more. Come out the front of the hotel and turn right, and you?ll be heading towards Trafalgar square with Nelson, bear left and you...

Review of The Strand Palace Hotel, London

London

Advantages: Education
Disadvantages: Exspensive City Accommodation

...We arrived at London St Pancras and for a split second we questioned ourselves, is this actually St Pancras. The train came to a standstill. Immediately we were overwhelmed with the swish new surroundings and by the grandeur of a once, shadowy and very old tarnished rail station; St Pancras had been transformed. This State of the art new construction towered over us and blended in perfect with the old structure. St Pancras had become another world of unrecognizable architecture; it had been modernized and instantly brought into the 20th century, though still retaining the original character of old. We boarded our underground train, the northern line, the 3 D line, Dark; Dingy and Dirty. Next stop the jubilee line or could it be the orient express. What dissimilarity, It was far more contemporary than the northern line...

Review of London (England)

London Underground

Advantages: Convenient method of transport, frequent trains, Easy to get around
Disadvantages: Signal Failures, Broken Trains and Heat!

...♣ The London Underground ♣ ----------------------------------------- Considering I travel on the London Underground at least 6 days a week, it seemed fitting that I came across this category to write under. On top of that, two years ago I spent two days raising money for St Helena Hospice by visiting all of the 275 stations on the network. By the way, if anyone ever feels the urge to do that, I would certainly recommend it as it is great fun. When I did it I wasn?t working to any time schedule but you may want to try and do it in the shortest time as possible for example. However, be aware that this may be affected by any engineering works or delays experienced. I will begin with a history of the London Underground as a whole before moving on to look at each of the lines in more detail and give you some information...
