The Gallery
At the Bluewater shopping complex in Kent, there is a Showcase multiplex, and part of this development operates as an upmarket subsection titled The Gallery. This was installed by the cinema's original operator, Australian firm Hoyts, as part of the original 1999 opening of the cinema. Showcase later took over the running of the multiplex and of the Gallery; however, although it could be considered Bluewater's equivalent of a Cinema de Lux, the Gallery does not yet carry the Cinema de Lux branding.
