Maybe I am the only one, but I am planning my maternity leave around being able to go to the baby cinema! I have now confirmed that I'm going to send my toddler to our childminder on Mondays and Tuesdays but the Big Scream in Clapham and Brixton are Thurs/Fri.


Wondering if anyone has already looked into organising a Parent & Baby screening at the Peckham Plex (easy bus ride from most parts of E.D.)? Would there be demand for this do you think?


There are sessions on Mon/Tues at other cinemas around London, but I remember how daunting it seemed to trek very far with a new baby!


(Title edited in case people don't know about the Big Scream!)

If Peckham did mother and baby screenings I'd be tempted to go - keep thinking about the ones at he Ritzy, but, buses over to Brixton seem so unreliable (with a 10wk old you don't really want to head out much earlier than you need to!) and there isn't a car park nearby. Also put off by their recent offerings being really arty (am jealous a friend in Wimbledon got to go to Harry Potter as a mother and baby session!).


Doesn't seem to be any mother and baby screenings at Surrey Quays either (which does have a huge car park!).

I had an e mail from them recently saying they are planning starting a Big Scream session in January - they claim they will be offering coffee and cake as part of the ticket! Hooray! Might be something on their website about it- I havent checked...

Just to update that I emailed the Peckham Plex and Mae is right...they are launching a parent/baby screening in January. Here are the details:


"We are currently collecting names of interested parents, we hope to have sufficient numbers when we launch in January to make these screenings a viable option for us.


It will be held on Thursdays at 11.30am, the price of the tickets are ?5.99 which includes coffee & cake. We also have facilites such as pram park, baby changing and bottle warming facilities. Adults must be accompanied by a baby under 1 year old.


Once established we will of course review the time, day and number of screenings and will rely on customer feedback to tell us what they want."


You can email via the Peckham Plex website if you want to add your name to their customer list: http://www.peckhamplex.com/contact


Unfortunately it doesn't help with my Monday/Tuesday problem, but maybe if there is enough demand they'll introduce a second day!

Alieh - Maybe its worth editing the title of your initial post in order that people know that they should be signing up and showing interest in this new screening?

Sadly I start back at work on Monday 10th Jan otherwise would have met you all there!

      Bellenden Rd & North Cross Rd ‘High Streets for People’

      By sunbob · Posted

      For the North Cross Rd one, other than this post on the day,  the only sign I saw was a few papers on lampposts saying no parking due to an event.  It didn't say what the event was. On the day at around 1.45pm all the parked cars were still there and there was just 1 unusual stall (an info stand about a children's activity group).

      You’ve made a mistake on all three.

      Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh.

      Excellent New Local Plumber

      By Eve1 · Posted

      Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
