The Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square remains London most revered movie theatre.
Having hosted The Queen and the British Royal family countless times to premieres in his career as General Manager of the UK flagship cinema, Odeon Leicester Square, Chris Hilton retired in the summer of 2009 and was subsequently named, in the New Year’s Honors list, as being awarded an MBE for services to the film industry. It’s not often the ‘ cinema back room boys’ are recognized for their work, and the ever-popular Chris Hilton is one of only a very few cinema managers ever awarded such an honor.(On a personal level, Mr. Hilton was instrumental in helping to arrange for members of our film location tours to attend various events at the Odeon in Leicester Square. We send our heartfelt congratulations to him- Lee Pfeiffer and Dave Worrall)
