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.

    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?     
    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around.  Update: I've just found this: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/community-safety/community-wardens The guy in the photo at the bottom of the page was the lovely warden of last night and I've just now remembered him telling me he's based in Burgess Park. Anyway, there needs to be more of them, as I rarely see one in Peckham.
