mate, the support you may think your post has garnered will not materialise - dont waste your time - these mugs are living in some kind of Imaginary Richard Curtis theme park of their own making. As poster above has mentioned, The Ritzy is only 15 mins away on public transport. Good luck with the venture anyway.

Hi pablogrande


Most of the major Cinemas in the country closed down or turned into Bingo halls 30+ years ago.

We have survived without them ever since.


Cinemas in the West End have survived for the Screening of Block Buster films.

Fine for a night out with a Pre/Post screening meal/beer.


Dulwich Odeon was one of the victims of the 70s/80s closures.


I think they already show some films at the Old Nun's Head close to East Dulwich Sunday nights.


I with a few others are trying to muster up intrest for a local Camera group.

Despite people showing interest, getting people to turn up is a different story.


Good luck anyway.

Had another thought this afternoon while listening to a couple of Dulwich yummy mummies chatting in Luca.


Apparently they're not at all keen on the idea of schlepping their offspring to the cinemas in Peckham or Brixton because they aren't comfortable about them "mixing with the locals".


I'm not going to comment on the attitude one way or the other, but it's a niche market that might offer an opportunity.

I used to live near an old bingo hall in another part of South London. When it closed down, some of us locals looked into the possibility of getting it turned into a cinema and were told that no one would set up a cinema that wasn't within a couple of minutes of a tube station, as local suburban customers aren't enough to support a local cinema these days. A cinema club with subscribing members is probably an option to explore.

I don't think I'd go either, especially as there's nothing I love more than going to the cinema alone, being completely engrossed in the film I've chosen. The Ritzy is my favourite and although not quite 10 mins away- more like around half hour bus ride- I'm still happy to make that journey.


Maybe something for the mums and babes here but I'm not sure others would really use it.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
