Hi Everyone,

Save the date!

The next meet up will be Sat 13th December in the eve. We will meet in The Rye pub before going to the film. I will post times once the Peckhma Plex publish their times (usually a few days before).

For those who haven't been before: we are a friendly bunch of ED locals who meet up every 6 weeks or so for a gossip and a film! Many good friends have been made over the last couple of years, and new people still come every time which is brilliant. We usually go back to the pub after the film.

Hope to see you there, Louisa

Hi Everyone,

Save the date - Sat 13th Dec pm.

We will meet in The Rye Pub and then head down to the Peckham Plex. I will post exact times once the Plex do, usually a few days before, but it be will some time in the evening.

For those of you who've never been: we are a friendly bunch of locals who meet for a film and a gossip! Many good friends have been made over the past couple of years and new people come each time which is great. We always meet in the pub, walk down to the cinema together and then back to the pub afterwards!

Hope to see you there, Louisa

Hi Everyone,

Film Club is one week today - Sat 13th Dec.

The Plex haven't published their films yet, but check back for what time we'll meet in The Rye pub (sometime in eve) and which film we'll see.

Cheers! L

Hi Guys,

Let's go and see a Jude Law film called Black Sea. It has excellent reviews, so should be a good night!

It starts at the Peckham Plex at 20:55. Let's leave the pub by 8:15 to buy our tickets (by all means buy them in advance if you'd prefer).

So let's meet at 7:15 in the Rye Pub so we have a good hour to meet and catch up, and hopefully say hello to new people!


Here's some blurb about the film:


Kevin Macdonald's BLACK SEA is a British thriller about a submarine captain who leads a crew on the hunt for some Nazi gold, believed to be at the bottom of the Black Sea.

Hi Everyone,

Film club is tomorrow, Sat 13th Dec. Meet at the Rye pub 7:15pm. Leave at 8:15 for the Plex to watch Black Sea at 20:55.

Look forward to seeing you and meeting new people! PM me with any questions! L

Hi Everyone,

Our first meet up of 2015 will be on Sat 31st Jan in the evening. Exact timings will be on this thread a few days before hand (the plex publish their films and timings on the Tuesday before), but keep that evening free if you'd like to come along!

We are a friendly bunch of locals who meet every few weeks for a drink at the Rye Hotel, a film at the Plex (?4.99!!) and then usually another drink back at the Rye.

Newbies really welcome!

Can I ask a really odd question - what is the average age. I am not ancient and really enjoy the cinema and go frequently but I like the sound of this but would feel a bit out of it if everyone is early 20's!!!! Thanks very much Janet (and Mike)

Hi Everyone,

Film club is next Saturday 31st Jan.

I've had a couple of requests to see Wild, which looks brilliant! Not sure about timings yet though, but fingers crossed it's on at a decent time.

The plex will publish their times hopefully on Tuesday/Wednesday, so check back for meeting time at the Rye Hotel.

Cheers! Luisa

Hi All,


The Plex aren't showing Wild on Saturday, so I've gone with another request, Ex Machina. It has excellent reviews and should be really good! I'll put some info about it at the bottom of this post.

The film starts at 9:10. The Plex is sometimes really busy, so it might be worth booking online before hand, but we will leave plenty of time to get to the cinema and buy tickets for those not buying in advance. But obviously I can't guarantee tickets!

So plan of action:

Meet in Rye Hotel Pub at 7:30 (I'll post on here where I am). I should have the film clacker board with me!

Leave the pub at about 8:30 for the Plex

Film at 9:10.


As always, newbies very welcome!


See you on Sat, Luisa


Running Time: 108mins


EX_MACHINA is an intense psychological thriller in which Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a 24 year old coder at the world?s largest internet company, wins a competition to spend a week at a retreat belonging to the company?s reclusive CEO, Nathan (Oscar Isaac). But when Caleb arrives he finds that he will have to participate in a fascinating experiment with the world?s first true artificial intelligence, housed in the body of a beautiful robot woman, Ava (Alicia Vikander). Truths, emotions and motives are blurred as the relationship between Caleb, Ava and Nathan intensifies.

You're not meant to post things like that Charlie, you might discourage all the lovely new people who are deliberating about coming! Watch the trailer and read the reviews, it may sway you. But defo come for the drink!

Ignore Charlie everyone hahaha, it's going to be ace!!! And if it's not I'll point you in the direction of the people that requested it hahaha x

Hi Everyone,

Film club is tonight! meeting 7:30 in the rye pub. I'll post on here where I am. We'll leave at about 8:30 for

Ex-Machina at 9:10. Buy tickets in advance if you want, up to you!

Hopefully there'll be time for a drink after. Luisa

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
