The adjacent Odeon Mezzanine offers a five small screening rooms, each seating around 50 - 60. The same films - i.e. mainstream and box-office hits - are shown on these smaller screens a few weeks' after release. Tickets at the mezzanine are less expensive than the main cinema

The smaller odeon west end is in the south corner of leicester square.
