The multimillion pound development of Sutton's Empire Cinema is now in the final stages of construction.

Empire will open on St Nicholas Way in late January 2018.

Sutton Guardian visited the site this week to capture how the complex is developing.

Earlier this month, CEO of Empire Cinemas, Justin Ribbons, said: “We are thrilled to be opening Empire Cinemas Sutton following an extensive building project.

“Customers will be able enjoy the very best in big screen entertainment, from luxury seating options to our unmissable IMPACT® and D-Box® screens.

“We look forward to welcoming cinema goers to our brand new St Nicholas Centre cinema for an unparalleled viewing experience in January 2018.”

Guests will be able to upgrade their seats to double sofas or electric recliners as they watch the latest Hollywood blockbuster.

There are currently 13 Empire Cinemas in the UK.

Empire Cinemas in Sutton has been closed since June 4.
