BFI IMAX

Yes. Book online to avoid disappointment, especially for big releases. IMAX shows often sell out and no one wants a meltdown at the box office.

Yes, look out for family combos, student prices, and deals for BFI Members (extra perks and cheaper snacks included!).

It’s the biggest cinema screen in the UK – over 20 metres high – with booming surround sound and jaw-dropping visuals. From Disney classics to Marvel epics and epic nature docs, it’s the perfect way to wow the whole family.

Definitely. There are loads of family-friendly films and animated favourites on rotation. Just avoid the front row unless your child really wants to inspect a superhero’s nostrils.

Absolutely. Expect step-free access, subtitled screenings, audio description, booster seats, and baby-changing facilities – thoughtful touches that make a big difference.

Aim for Rows K–M – they’re the sweet spot for big-screen action. Booster seats are available, and Row N+ offers great views if your child prefers sitting a bit further back.

Nope, and that’s not a bad thing! Some blockbusters are in IMAX 3D (glasses needed), but many are shown in stunning standard IMAX without the eyewear. Either way, it’s massive.

Nope. Outside food isn’t allowed. But there’s a solid selection of cinema classics – popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, vegan options and slushies. Sweet tooth? You’re covered.

It’s right next to Waterloo Station.. Super easy by tube, train or bus. Driving? Try the National Theatre or Waterloo car parks nearby.

Yes. You’re right by the South Bank. Combine your film trip with a ride on the London Eye, a visit to SEA LIFE, some ogre laughs at Shrek’s Adventure or the London Dungeon if you have teens in tow. Plenty of food spots nearby too.
