ED Picturehouse. Elitest.


Recommended Posts

Well, it's not THAT small! It's quite "intimate", but I think that's a good thing, and in line with the fact that ED is not a major town centre like Brixton or Hackney.


It's a really nice refurb, bar area is nice, food is decent (in my limited experience of it). Deserves to do well.

And there was me being totally serious in pointing out 244>5. I mean, who knew.

can't say how much I love this great local resource! As a parent (yup, detestable I know, although mine is now 11) I haven't been to the cinema for ages, too much effort/expense even to go just to Brixton.


Now I can pop down the road, and my wife can do the same the following evening (or visa versa) so we get to see the films we want to see on our doorstep.


A fantastic addition to the community!


Oh yes, took the 11 year old to see ant man this weekend, raining I know but there were 4 or 5 of his school friends and their parents in the audience too.


hyper local, its a great thing!

I've been twice and am thinking about becoming a member.


I know it's more expensive than going to Peckham Plex, but it's such a nice experience - the seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in at a cinema, can't recall having better leg room anywhere else either.


And I can buy a "baby" portion of popcorn which I appreciate - don't always want to eat a ton of the stuff. Haven't indulged in an alcoholic drink when I've been yet but I am sure it's only a matter of time.

Cool, like I said I'm surprised but that's great they're doing so well.

Maybe we should just create a ED picture house thread. Almost no one posting on this thread agrees with the premise and the conversation has long since moved on. Continuing to post here suggests there is some raging debate about how the community feel about the cinema which really isn't the case.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
