Phones are apparently back up and lots of tickets left according to Twitter. Only session that is booked out is the 5pm Sunday one.


I ended up on the phone for 20 minutes earlier today - so yes, try not to do it from a mobile

I can't believe anything has sold out. I'm a big fan of the cinema and a founding member but when I passed by this morning it was still a building site. They'll need to pass out hard hats with your 3D glasses unless there is a miracle between now and Friday!

It seems that this weekends opening will involve a protest on April 18th re. London living wage.


Looking ahead it might get a mention on this thread....so a reminder that if you want to vent more about it use this thread instead: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1357998,page=9

Looking at it this morning, I can't help wondering whether the builders have cut corners a bit with the finish - bolts not screwed down properly, the paving leading up to the door looks like it's going to gather water. A 4 month overrun... I don't know who the contractors are, but I hope Picturehouse have got some snag fixing and overrun clauses agreed with them.
Just been to the press launch. It looks AMAZING. They're still finishing off bits and bobs, but it's a truly great addition to the Lane. Seats incredibly comfortable, and I can see over a tall person sitting in front of me. The bar area is lovely, and each screen has a different feel. Nice seats for two at the back. Hats off to the Picturehouse team, who've worked so hard. Very excited.
This is so exciting. I first started asking cinemas about comnig to East Dulwich five years ago. And we now finally have one. Orignally I thought it would be Bermondsey Shortwave who are afab. But even more delighted we now have 3 screens. Well done Picturehouse.

    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
