The Odeon was built in 1930 as The Leicester Square Theatre, a name it largely remained with until 1988. The theatre was built as a cine-variety venue for [[Jack Buchanan]] - a penthouse apartment was housed on the roof for the star - and showcased both film and short variety performances, before going over to film on a more permanent basis. A large single screen was housed in an ornate, three-tiered auditorium.

It was sold to [[J.Arthur Rank]] in 1937 and became Rank's first cinema, although not named [[Odeon]] for many years to come.

The cinema was modernised in 1968 into a much blander shell, based around a remodelled stalls and single circle and was twinned into a two-screen venue in 1988 (Screen 1 in the former circle and Screen 2 in the stalls) and renamed [[Odeon West End]].

[[Odeon]] sold the site in February 2006, although continuing to operate as part of the Odeon chain until redevelopment plans are finalised. Provisional plans have been drawn up to convert the site into a hotel complex, although some concern has been expressed as to whether the Leicester Square facade will be retained. It seems likely that a (smaller) cinema operation may be retained in the basement. An operator has not been identified.
