Odeon is to open a new six-screen cinema with luxury fine dining at the £400m Islington Square development in north London.
The Lounge by Odeon will become the second cinema in Europe to offer exclusive at-seat waiter service serving gourmet three-course meals, wine and cocktails prepared by professional chefs and bar hosts.
The brand new cinema will bring an intimate experience with six boutique screening rooms each with no more than 40 reclining leather seats. The fitting out of the new cinema at Islington Square will begin in early 2017, with the cinema opening its doors in late 2017.
Duncan Reynolds, managing director of Odeon UK & Ireland, commented, “The Lounge at Islington Square will provide the most innovative and luxurious experience available in cinema today, in one of London’s most sought after locations.
'This is a luxurious way of enjoying exciting new films with friends and family, and is the perfect way to make a visit to the cinema extra special, offering all our guests the opportunity to relax and enjoy fine food and drinks in an exclusive environment.
'We have been thrilled with the success of the first Lounge at Whiteleys – and are using what we’ve learned there to create an even more innovative high quality experience at the new Lounge at Islington Square.”
