You can tell us more about Ilford.

• they closed down newbury park odeon to build cineworld on Clements Road near ilford library, fairly new still. its cool, i often go there if i can't be bothered to go all the way to stratford picture house or romford.
• The best cinema ever outside the west end had to be the Gants Hill Odeon. I used to go when I was a small lad when it was just one screen. It was also perfectly situated next to the greatest pub ever, The Valentine, with the best barstaff, many of which were my friends. To all the people who called for it to be demolished I say a plague on all your houses.
• No decent cinema in Ilford since odeon demolished and i went to ilford cineworld once and i got mugged by a gang of 30 youths. South woodford odeon is small but nice and romford cinema is wicked.
• The Odeon at gants hill has gone, rumoured to be turning into a mosque A new complex opened up down by the library - looks like they have tried to copy the Brewery in romford
• It now has a town centre cinema, in fact two as one is a Asian one. Vry close to Ilford railway station and lots of buses paas by 366,167, 169,179,145 and others.
• Cine World has just opened, its massive. Odeon in Gants hill is gone, squatters had a massive party there - really pissed off the council - was quite funny.
• Ilford is getting a tiny bit better in the entertainment area.. but the cine world is pokey!!
• Gants Hill Odeon is known even by those who like it as a fleapit, but don't worry those of you who like more than just Bollywood movies, they're building a new multiplex between the multi-storey car park and the library.
• Only one really. The odeon in gants hill. its a good cinema.
• Go to Dagenham Warner Village cinema - it's clean, comfortable, big, has parking, clean toilets, couple of nice restuarants nearby. Don't bother with the Odeon, it doesn't compare.
• When it opened in the sixties (Heroes Of Telemark with Kirk Douglas was the first film shown there I think) the Odean at gants Hill was the biggest cinema in the UK.
• Personally, I think the Gants Hill Odeon is great. London has been following the trend of throwing up these big multiplex cinemas, which may offer more choice but definitely take the style out of the event. But the Odeon still has an itimate yet classy feel about it in comparison to the afore mentioned. I'll prefer to watch my films there any day. And I am not some old bag here, take it from me a young american living in iford.
• not one in the town centre, but 6-screen (i think) Odeon by Gants Hill Tube Station which is OK but not outstanding, but as its the only cinema for miles around it's difficult to complain too much...
• Regal Cinema in the Ilford High Road , Saturday Morning pictures for the Kids back in the 50's Free Cinema ticket on your birthday , half a choc ice for 3d Stage shows and competitions ( before the days of the big screen.
• Gants Hill Odeon is the nearest (5 minutes), but it's worth the 15 minute ride to either UCI in Lee Valley or Warner Bros on the A13 in Dagenham
• about 3 Cinema's and a further 4 cinema complexes are each about 5 miles outside of Ilford. Ilford's original Cinema is now the Island (music venue)
