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.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
