Leicester Square, London


Leicester Square is the cinema centre of London. It is claimed that the Square has the cinema with the
largest screen and the cinema with the most seats (over 1600).



The most famous cinema, the Odeon, is on the east side of the square. The Odeon had the first digital
projector in Europe (1999), and is the largest single-screen cinema in the United Kingdom. The cinema can
hold 1,683 people with seats arranged in circle and stalls. The Empire, on the north of the Square, is the
second-largest cinema, with 1,330 seats in the main theatre, as well as eight smaller screens.



The cheapest cinema in Leicester Square is ‘The Prince Charles’. This cinema often shows films a few
weeks later than some of the others, so if you don’t mind being a bit behind the times and want to save
some money this could be the place for you.



Leicester Square is also where the stars come out at night. People wait (often out in the cold) and hope
they can see Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt as they step out of their limousines to attend the first
night of their new movie. Watch out for the screaming fans!

1. Leicester Square is most famous for its ___________________________.
a. shopping area
b. cinemas

c. museums
2. The films at ‘The Prince Charles’ are often shown ___________________.
a. earlier than other cinemas
b. at the same time as other cinemas

ALBERT PARK

Albert Park is located only three kilometres from the
Melbourne city centre. It is a 225 hectare sporting and
recreational park.



The park is a beautiful, relaxing, and fun place to spend the
day. You can enjoy a picnic or barbecue at one of the nine
picnic areas. There is also a large lake which is home to a
gorgeous family of swans and is a lovely place to take a walk.
If you are more adventurous, you can take some lessons at
the yacht and rowing club or hire a boat just for fun and go
for a paddle.



Albert Park is host to some of Melbourne’s most exciting events.
In May, the 'Million Paws Walk' sees many dogs play and run
through the park with their owners to raise money for charity.
Throughout the year there are various 'Fun Runs', and in March
the 'Foster's Australian Grand Prix Carnival' is held here.
