The Odeon Theatre, Barnet opened on 15th May 1935 with Gene Raymond in "Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round". It was designed by architect Edgar Simmons, who was not a usual designer of Odeon Theatres, as this was originally intended to be a building for County Cinemas circuit and was taken over by Odeon durring construction.

Seating was provided for 1,553; 1,010 in the stalls and 543 in the circle.

It was converted into a triple screen cinema from 10th March 1974 with screen 1 in the former circle and screens 2 and 3 in the rear stalls.

From 18th December 1992 a fourth screen was added in the former front stalls area and ten days later a fifth screen was opened on what had been the former stage area. Current (2008) seating capacities in the screens are; 530, 184, 188, 195 and 155.

It continues to serve this local outer North London suburb of Barnet as a first run cinema.

On 18th December 1989, the Odeon was given a Grade II Listed building status by English Heritage
