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.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
