As we made our way from Waterloo station towards the South Bank, my seven-year-old son Reuben pointed to a huge circular glass building situated in the centre of a busy central London roundabout.

The landmark that had caught his attention was the striking BFI IMAX, which is notable for its unique design and for housing the largest cinema screen in the UK - 26 metres wide and 20 metres high.

It opened in 1999 but in recent years it was renovated, and it is a must-visit destination for film buffs.

But in the many years I've lived in London, and despite all the times the iconic building caught my attention, I'd never got round to visiting.

So, with the family-friendly superhero movie _The Fantastic Four: First_ _Steps_ showing, it felt like the perfect time to finally explore this one of a kind cinema with Reuben and his 10-year-old brother Odhran.

Entering the venue offered excitement in itself for the kids, as you have to access through an underpass.

Unlike other cinemas, there is only one huge screen at BFI IMAX, with capacity of just under 500.

Stepping into the foyer, we made our way up the stairs to grab our snacks. Expect the usual treats of nachos, hot dogs, pick 'n' mix, popcorn and ice-cream. For an idea of pricing, a sharing combo of one large popcorn, one bag of sweets, and two large drinks, will cost you £17.99. If you fancy an alcoholic drink, there's a selection of Prosecco, wine, spirits, ciders and beer on offer. There's also a lovely bar area downstairs, where you can sip on a cocktail.

As we entered the cinema, the size of the screen was impressive. The front row of seats are set several feet high and far enough back to allow for comfortable viewing. We were located in row N, towards the back of the cinema. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy.

It was incredible to think that just 13 feet below BFI IMAX, the London Underground line is running. But the venue has been sound-proofed and has anti-vibration bearings, so you would never guess there were trains travelling underneath.

So, aside from being the largest cinema screen in the UK, what else makes BFI IMAX so special? Film-fans will be interested to know that it is one of only two screens in Europe that can show films in both IMAX 70mm film and digital formats. This means it can project both traditional film reels and modern digital content, allowing for a wider range of film screenings. Tickets are now available to experience the first IMAX 70mm screening of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey next summer.

If you're not a film-buff and are wondering what 70mm means, well it refers to the projection of the movie on to the screen. It's a wider format that allows for a higher-resolution image, resulting in a more detailed and vivid picture.

Another thing that sets BFI IMAX apart, is that it features Laser projection for sharper, brighter images, and it's equipped with a 12-channel digital surround sound system, for a powerful audio experience.

In summary, we found it the perfect cinema to catch an action-packed movie such as _The Fantastic Four: First Steps._ It was a completely immersive experience, that really allowed us to feel part of the world we were watching.

Another great thing about BFI IMAX is that it doesn't just show the big blockbusters. It also shows alternative content and hosts educational presentations. And it celebrates anniversary screenings, such as this month's screenings to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Jaws.

Whether you're a film buff, a tourist looking to tick another London landmark off the bucket list, or, like me, a mum in search of another unique experience with the kids, then BFI IMAX is an attraction that needs to be on your radar.

**Location**: 1 Charlie Chaplin Walk, South Bank, London, SE1 8XR

**Cost:** Prices for non-members - adults from £16, children (14 and under) from £8, families (one adult and one child) from £19. There's a £1 booking fee per ticket. Prices will depend on your tier of seating, which includes Premium, VIP, and Standard.

Adventure Awaits: Dive into the Latest Bumper Kids’ Activity Book Packed with Fun and Creativity

My son was chasing his dream, but who was his mystery fan club? By Ceri Hooper, 54

Glancing out of the window, I spotted a figure bouncing up and down on the trampoline.

It was a grey, drizzly day but my son, Lloyd, 19, never let the weather stop him.

In fact, he didn’t let anything get in his way.

Lloyd was born with Down’s syndrome, and although doctors warned he’d be floppy, lethargic and have no muscle tone, he was the complete opposite.

He quickly learnt to crawl, then walk, and ever since then, he was always on the go, and joined gymnastics, judo and football clubs as he grew up.

Then we received an email from Special Olympics GB, who had an opportunity for a place in the London Marathon.

I’d run the marathon before when Lloyd and his brother, Finlay, were younger and they’d loved the buzz as they cheered me on.

‘Would you like to give it a go?’ I asked him.

We sent off an application for Lloyd and me, but didn’t expect anything to come of it.

So, when an email popped up, my hand jumped to my mouth.

But we had just four months until the marathon and Lloyd had only run a 5k before.

‘We’ll be training regularly, rain or shine,’ I warned him. ‘Are you in?’

‘Let’s do it,’ he said, determined.

I made up a schedule of three runs each week. Lloyd listened to his upbeat music and stopped for a dance every so often.

Then, at each mile, I pulled out a jelly bean for us both. It helped break up the route for Lloyd, who could usually only focus for 20 minutes at a time.

But he never moaned or missed a session. Each week, we ran further and further until by the end of our training plan, Lloyd had managed 18 miles. I knew the atmosphere would get him through the extra eight on the day.

Lloyd loved Guinness World Records, so we approached them to see if he could break his own record for completing the race.

And he did interviews to help his fundraising for Special Olympics GB and Stepping Stones DS, who had both been a huge support to us.

The days passed in a blur and before I knew it, I was laying out Lloyd’s green kit.

I was filled with a mixture of nerves and excitement.

The next morning, we jumped on the train from our home in Camberley, Surrey, to London and arrived at the starting point.

The atmosphere was electric as the crowds cheered.

Then suddenly, I heard the sound of my own voice booming across the field.

I looked up and spotted me and Lloyd on the big screen!

‘Look, Lloyd,’ I said, and he broke into a grin.

They were playing one of our interviews and when people walked past, they recognised us.

Lloyd happily posed for the camera and lapped up the attention.

Then, we spotted Lloyd’s gymnastics coach who said: ‘When I see you, I want you to do a cartwheel.’

As we joined the 40,000 runners ready to start, I told Lloyd: ‘You’ve got this.’

My family, friends and running club cheered us on and when Lloyd spotted his gymnastics coach, he sprung on to his hand and spun over to huge applause.

The crowd couldn’t get enough, so he started doing dances, cartwheels—even the splits.

Then we turned a corner and my mouth dropped.

There was a wall of banners that read: Lloyd the legend.

And even more mysteriously, the people holding them were all wearing masks of Lloyd’s face.

But their support was exactly what we needed to carry us on.

We passed Buckingham Palace, turned the corner and there was the finish line.

Lloyd crossed it on his own, his arms held high, and afterwards, we burst into tears of triumph.

He’d run the race in a time of six hours and 46 minutes.

Before we even had time to catch our breath, Lloyd was presented with his world record.

At 19, he was the youngest person to complete a marathon in the intellectual impairment category.

Back home, intrigued by our mystery supporters, I tracked them down on Instagram.

It turned out it was organised by a man who wasn’t able to run due to injury. They’d chosen three unsuspecting runners from the promo footage and made banners to cheer them on.

I messaged to thank them for their support and Lloyd’s fan club kept growing.

He thrived in television and radio interviews.

Messages of support flooded in, and like a proper celeb, Lloyd started to receive fan mail.

The illustrator Lucy Dunbar created a beautiful picture of Lloyd in his kit that’s now in pride of place on the wall, alongside his world record, shirt and medal.

Lloyd raised over £18,000 and he’s been nominated for a JustGiving award.

And, of course, he has more marathons planned—though next, he’s doing a skydive!

Lloyd is embracing every moment of his new-found fame and his legend status.

He proves anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
