点评:As a working couple with young children at school it is a rare treat for us to be able to spend time together away from the kids. But our working schedules aligned to gives us a day off together whilst the kids were at school. But what to do on a random miserable wet Thursday in freezing January? I’d fancied seeing the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man but now towards the end of its run in cinemas our usual theatre wasn’t showing it until the evening. And so a little searching led us to The Light, somewhere we’d visited a few times when it first opened pre covid. Well what a difference from Vue in Staines! An immaculately clean theatre awaited us. We didn’t have to brush popcorn off the seats, there was no chewing gum stuck to the arms or any coke stains on the chair! And what a chair!! So comfortable! And reclining! After being opened for 7-8 years I presumed perhaps that the original newness of the cinema had probably faded somewhat having hosted thousands of cinema goers since or last visit but the premises has been unkept well & clearly they focus keenly on keeping it clean & tidy. We were able to enjoy the very recommendable movie in luxurious comfort. To top this off as we were leaving a member of The Light staff asked if we needed a parking voucher. This was something I was unaware of saving us paying our car parking bill which was an unexpected bonus. It maybe twice the price of Staines but we have seen The Light!! We will return again soon!
