Yah well hmmm... if you're on a ?5 or bust budget, then it's great (I went today). But it's pretty chatty/basic. However, it is I discovered 'the oldest independent cinema' in the county.

Peckham Plex is great - you can stick EDPH up your jacksy. And for once I am being serious.

Ok but yes and all that. It's nice enough and I'd go again, but its quite pared back as you'd expect for a ?5


And the pop corn sticks to you clothes.


And the people behind and in front chatted throughout the film

I've just been reading all the Irvine Welsh books and am 3/4 of the way through Porno. So I won't go and see it until I've finished the book. I'm particularly interested in how the film deals with poor Juice Terry's little 'accident' and who on earth could they have cast for Curtis?
I'm going to go along out of nostalgia but like seeing the Happy Mondays a couple of years ago I think it'll disappoint - that's the general view of the reviews i've read. Still looking forward to it though. Read the book just after it was published so was a bit snotty about the sudden rise of Welsh and Train spotting when the film came out. Welsh is of course a solid West Ham fan (goes quite a lot) and the ICF feature in one of his sequels (none of which i've rated to be honest)

I believe local heroes Fat White Family's Whitest Boy On The Beach plays as the credits role, which is a good thing as they might now be able to afford somewhere permanent to live instead living in squats or crashing on other people's sofas. They could certainly use the money.

Apart from price, the EDPH is far superior. Screen, ambience, seating, just about everything is nicer. But there's a price premium on that obviously.

Personally I found a lot of cinemas to be soulless spaces - and that feeling about other cinemas is heightened since EDPH opened. Its not a snobbish thing - its just a much nicer place to spend time.

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
