Now that the East Dulwich Picturehouse cinema is a reality, I thought I would start up a thread specifically for it so that we can all keep up to date with the project.


And today is an exciting start to the building process as the Picturehouse group have commissioned three street artists to create art for the hoarding covering the building whilst the work takes place.


See below for a couple of links to photos of the start of the process. The artists are working all day today so will be fascinating to see what it looks like by the end of the day.

And here are details of how to join the East Dulwich Picturehouse membership scheme.


There is currently an extra incentive as the first 1000 founder members will have their names included in a specially commissioned art installation within the new building.

Just walked past the hoardings and saw the artists finishing the first phase of the pictures. I liked the cinematic theme and thought 'Audrey' was a particularly good likeness.


Personally I enjoy street art even if it isn't to my taste - something about reminding me that I live in a city I think.

Can't we try to stay positive for once? It's so depressing to follow a thread I am excited about to find it once again (and this time, so quickly), reduced to negative barbs. Everyone is entitled to their say, but gee whizz people, it takes so much more energy to be negative. Smile, breathe, look on the bright side. Life is so much more fun over here.

Jeremy - Hi! Yes, there are a couple of other threads that talk about the cinema, but they were back when it was speculation and rumour. I thought I would start a new thread now that it's a reality. Especially as the other threads are now focusing more on discussion of cinemas in other locations.


All - Just to be clear, I have nothing to do with the cinema itself. I'm just a punter who has been a regular attendee to Picturehouse cinemas for the last 15 years or so and am simply incredibly excited that I am soon to have one just around the corner from my house!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
