Uxbridge Odeon

The Odeon in Uxbridge is a proper cinema experience in the heart of town - the kind of place that still feels like going to the pictures, rather than just watching a screen in a multiplex. It's a Grade II listed building with real character, the sort of venue where the architecture matters as much as the film itself. You'll find the usual mix of blockbusters and general releases, with decent facilities and the typical Odeon pricing on snacks (eye-watering, but what isn't nowadays).

It works best for families wanting a conventional night out or film enthusiasts who appreciate the older cinema experience. Teenagers will probably just want the latest Marvel film regardless of where they watch it. Allow a couple of hours altogether - film time plus whatever you fancy before or after.

The cinema sits right in Uxbridge town centre, so you can make an evening of it with a meal beforehand. If you're based at Wyatts Covert Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite, which is about 3.6 miles away, the Odeon is an easy drive for an evening out. It's not the sort of attraction that'll eat a whole day, mind you - this is the icing on a Buckinghamshire trip that includes proper walks or visits to nearby parks. Worth checking their website for times and current films before you head over, as programming changes weekly.
