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. Despite being surrounded by traffic and has an underground line just four metres below, the London IMAX is insulated from the noise with anti vibration bearings. It's an ideal place to watch gripping action movies as well as 3D nature films like "To The Arctic." Take the Bakerloo Line, Jubilee Line or Northern Line to Waterloo Station and walk a short distance from there.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
