London IMAX

posted by admin in , , Uncategorized

The London IMAX is an IMAX cinema in the South Bank district of London, England, just north of Waterloo Station. It is operated by the British Film Institute.

The cinema is located in the centre of a roundabout on Waterloo Road. Stamford Street is to the north-east, York Road is to the south-west and Waterloo Bridge is to the north-west.

London has other IMAX cinemas at the Trocadero near Piccadilly Circus in the West End and at the Science Museum in South Kensington/Albertopolis.

The London IMAX was designed by Avery Associates and completed in May 1999. By far the largest screen in Britain it only has a seating capacity of just under 500. Although the site is surrounded by traffic and has an underground line just four metres below, the architects and engineers accounted for this in their design and the entire upper structure sits on anti vibration bearings to prevent noise transference.
