Cinema company to leave after over 20 years at Chiswick Business Park

Vue Entertainment has confirmed it is leaving Chiswick Business Park and moving to offices adjacent to the Westfield Shopping Centre.

The cinema company is currently operating its UK & Ireland business and international operations from Building 10 in Chiswick Business Park. The company’s shift marks a significant transition and will mean considerably fewer workers in Chiswick Business Park.

Vue made Chiswick its operational hub in 2003, following the acquisition of Warner Village Cinemas by SBC International Cinemas, which was rebranded. With over 90 cinemas in the UK & Ireland and an additional 212 across ten countries, Vue’s move from its long-standing Chiswick premises is a blow to the business park.

The new headquarters, occupying 14,000 sq ft on the third floor of One Ariel Way near the Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd’s Bush, will provide office space and access to a roof terrace.

This strategic move positions Vue in close proximity to its flagship 20 screen cinema in the centre, along with another 12-screen cinema in the West 12 shopping centre, situated on either side of Shepherd’s Bush Green.

Tim Richards, Vue’s founder, and CEO said:

“As we enter our third decade, and look ahead to next year and beyond, our new and exciting HQ will ensure the team is perfectly positioned to build on recent momentum and deliver the very best in big screen entertainment.”

Kate Orwin, leasing director UK at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, said:

“We’re excited to be strengthening our longstanding relationship with Vue, which has been a valued entertainment anchor at both Westfield London and Stratford City for many years. We’re seeing demand for office space growing across both of our sites and with more people moving to White City to live, study and work, this represents a massive opportunity for companies to be part of the thriving communities in and around our destinations.”
