Large cinema on Purley Way with ultra lux reclining seats, free parking, and full accessibility. Multiple screens with helpful individual staff, and cleaning between showings is inconsistent.

Very driendly and approachable staff. In particular I wanted to mention the lady that spoke to me about assistance they can provide for kids during a mid-film bathroom break for my daughter. It was a personal touch that I really appreciated. Hope to be back again soon!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families who want a comfortable reclining seat cinema with free parking. Staff members are often genuinely helpful with children's needs during screenings. Check your specific seat location on the map before booking β€” the ultra lux seating map for some screens is not accurate to the physical layout.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Verify your seat position is central on the map before booking ultra lux seats
⏰Arrive at your screen a few minutes early to flag any cleanliness issues before the film starts
🎟️Ask staff directly if you need mid-film assistance for children β€” individual staff have been very accommodating
πŸš—Free parking is available on-site

β€œWanted to try the new ultra lux seats at VUE but the seating map for screen 5 is misleading. We booked seats 11 and 12 and the seat map makes it look like those seats are centre but when we actually get there, those seats are too far right and off centre and definitely not in the middle like the map suggests.”

β€œWhat can I say? The seats are amazing and comfortable. You do pay for the luxury of those seats and so it is okay to expect good service. However, everything else is rather lacking. 1. Service: I've ordered nachos and get asked questions I've never been asked before and expected to know for example what flavour nachos. When I ask what flavours it's met with attitude. No one hardly mans the cinema screens, which means people come into the cinema who don't have tickets..how do I know? Because I check the app for the seats purchased. I was shouted at for being on my phone for a few seconds when knowing was sitting behind me. Never seen anyone else been told they cannot use it and seen plenty do it When I raised complaint to the cinema about people being In our seats and a family being in the cinema when they shouldn't, they didn't seem to care. Food: the nachos are not great. The nachos cheese sauce has a horrible taste to it and so I don't purchase nachos anymore here. I think this is a Vue issue. But it doesn't taste clean..maybe serve closed cheese sauces. Odeon have it right with the cheese sauce. Cinema: people keep coming into the cinemas undetected. In one show we had a family take up all the free back seats and ultra lux seats making noises throughout and having 3 people in two seats. Another time someone was sitting in our ultra lux seats eating McDonald's and made a mess. It took us 2 times to get them to move..they then proceeded to move to another seat next to use which someone else had booked and asked them to move. Why is this happening so often? And why is the cinema not manning the screens?”
