Anyone else out there getting a little bit tired!!!!! of the shambolic staff that run the peckham multi plex. Today is the 3rd time i've taken my son to a see a film there that isn't on regardless of the fact that it says that it is showing on there website. ( "oh yeah sorry man - we forgot to update the website") last time my wife walked all the way there only to be faced with the same probelm. the problem being the idiots that run it and work there.


sort it out!!!

Marion Grey is the Manageress and I signed up to weekly emails from her so I know what the local is showing. I do not often go, but I think you are being mighty unfair slagging it off when they do their best, and again what is the point of slagging it off here and not directly to the Manageress. It tries to cater for all sorts with mother and baby shows and so on, and it does occasionally do screenings of local / art movies although shows all the big blockbusters too. It's not perfect but it is independent and cheaper than most and does try hard.

You slag it off on here, everyone jumps on the bandwagon, and before you know it, a bad reputation will stop people from going at all.


Next thing, there will be talk of it closing down & a 'save Peckham Multiplex' campaign because it is the only cinema in the area and would be greatly missed.


I very rarely go to the pictures nowadays, but if I did, I would go there, not only to support a local business, but due to the convenience.


I have good memories of taking my children there when they were younger, as a special treat on birthdays etc. Tickets were only ?3.99 on Tuesdays & if you got there early enough, you could have the pick of the best seats!


People should think of the consequences before posting such negative comments. There are enough places closing down these days, without losing our only cinema as well.

I am a fan of Peckham Multiplex. Tickets for ?4.99 mean it is cheap enough for my daughter and I to go fairly regularly and their large combo (popcorn and drink) is enormous, big enough to share, for about ?6.


Not everyone can afford to go to the more expensive cinemas and if Peckham closed, my daughter and I would be gutted.

Peckham Plex is a bit basic and sometimes smells of mothballs, but tickets only cost ?4.99 and you can't argue with that! I think 3D films are only ?5.99 a ticket, and that's a lot cheaper than the big cinemas. Peckham Plex has a Twitter account and they tweet regularly so it might be worth following them.

What you posted on the Ivy House thread wouldn't exactly inspire me to go!

There's no doubt, the carpets and upholstery need a deep clean, or replacement.


I also agree that the attitude of the staff could be improved upon, this is something that seems to have worsened in the recent past.


BUT, I still visit the cinema most weeks, and am very grateful that it exists. This is because; the ticket price is amazingly low, I find the sound and projection to be more than adequate, and most importantly, that a very good range of films are offered. There are interesting selections most weeks; films I have seen there this year include; Wadja, Mud, Side Effects, Trance, The Place Beyond the Pines, Behind the Candelabra, and The Iceman. These are not pop-corn blockbuster movies, there seems to be a genuine and sustained effort to screen films for a discerning, cine-literate audience.


I do sympathise with ash77; turning up for a film that was listed but not screened must have been very frustrating. But I can testify that I have never had this experience in 15 years of using the cinema.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
