The west London district of Ealing is set to get a £100m "Film Quarter" at the New Broadway site.

The Film Quarter will feature a cinema complex, 80 flats, restaurants, a bar and retail outlets.

Ealing Council selected property company Land Securities to develop the new complex, which will link the cinema with the town centre and Walpole Park.

There are also plans for cultural industries, art galleries and performance spaces, which will extend south from the cinema towards Ealing Studios.

The town's previous cinema was owned by Empire Cinemas and closed in 2008.

Originally Empire Cinemas was going to redevelop the site after buying the rights but after four years the company failed to move forward with the project and were forced to sell the site, which was later purchased by Ealing Council.

Ealing Council is looking at opportunities to collaborate with Ealing Studios for the project.

Councillor Julian Bell said: "I not only want to see Hollywood blockbusters being shown again in Ealing but also a far broader mix of independent films and events that will attract people from all over London.

"The innovative thinking of Land Securities means that once again when people think of cinema they will think of Ealing."
