bfi London IMAX

Picture five double-decker buses stacked on top of each other, and you'll have some idea of the height of the BFI London IMAX cinema screen! At 20x26 metres, this super-sized screen is the biggest in the UK and it offers a truly powerful film experience.

Technologically Advanced

The state-of-the-art cinema comes with a top quality digital surround-sound system. Gone are the days of just sitting back and watching a film, with IMAX you'll feel as though you're taking part in the action. The rows of comfy seats rise at a steep angle guaranteeing a clear view of the screen.

Another Dimension

The 3D films are well worth experiencing. Don the pair of special glasses provided and the images will leap off the screen. You won't be able to stop yourself reaching out to try and touch them!

Discover New Worlds

Among programme favourites is Deep Sea 3D. This film allows you to enjoy all the thrills of scuba diving from the safety of your seat. Plunge into the ocean depths and get up close and personal with tropical fish and marine creatures. Watch out for the sharks though…

Prepare for take-off! Step into an astronaut’s boots with Space Station 3D – you'll be flung into outer space and take a step into the unknown on a space walk.

2D Blockbusters

You can also watch 2D films at IMAX. Some are re-purposed for the massive screen. Others are shown at normal size - but with the added advantage of the high-tech sound and the unique auditorium. Look out for Hollywood blockbusters and family-friendly classics. See the BFI IMAX website for full programme details.
