We love the Odeon cinema, comfortable, well priced with a good range of films. Especially enjoy the NT Lives. Friendly and helpful staff. Prefer the Odeon over any cinema- perhaps sentimental but use it or loose it.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for Beckenham families who value a convenient, community-focused cinema with genuinely helpful staff over a premium experience. NT Live broadcasts make this venue worth travelling to for theatre fans. Families with children who are noise-sensitive should that volume levels run high β€” consider ear protection for longer or louder films.

β€œDear Team, We think you have great staff and we are great fans of and supporters of Beckenham cinema but since the fire next door things have not returned to normal. We are missing out on Event Cinema screenings and the blue light over the windows is missing a bulb in the second window from the left. Putting things right is very slow. We live right opposite and the lights are a pleasure to see in the evenings. One other thing. The building urgently needs to be painted, it is becoming an eye sore. Looking forward to event screenings again as we were promised it would all be up and running in the new year.”

β€œIt’s disappointing that this place, which is so conveniently located, isn’t attracting more customers. Most people end up traveling far just to watch movies because the seating here is outdated and uncomfortableβ€”you can’t even enjoy the film properly since the heads of the people in front block your view! It’s such a shame, as this spot has so much potential to become a beautiful, thriving venue.”

Reviews from Google

Overview

ODEON Beckenham is a neighbourhood cinema showing current releases alongside National Theatre Live event screenings. Free parking, pram access, and a cafe are available. Staff receive strong praise for friendliness and responsiveness. The building shows its age with worn upholstery in some screens and older tiered seating that creates sightline issues. Volume levels have been flagged as uncomfortably high by multiple reviewers, with some reporting ear discomfort after screenings.
